Retired soldier Jimmy Calder plans to relax and concentrate on running The Viper Lounge, but his long standing association with an organised crime boss, and a robust sense of justice means that old habits die hard. The Viper Lounge is a collection of 16 darkly comic off-beat original screenplay stories, exploring the lives and misadventures of a broad set of colourful characters, connected to a lively music bar in a south Essex riverside town.
From crime and vengeance to romance and redemption, each story has a twist and a bite - where anything can happen, and usually does. Episode 1: ELECTRIC LADYLAND. After a ruthless eastern European drug gang accuses her of being a police informer, the life of a young woman hangs in the balance - plunging Jimmy Calder into a deadly crisis of conscience. Episode 2: WELCOME TO THE VIPER LOUNGE. (Pilot) 'Businessmen' Perry Shaw and Dennis 'The scrap man' Ronson, have a territorial dispute with a rival Midlands firm, resulting in a non-traditional method of settling matters.
Jim's first date with new veterinary doctor Amanda, is compromised by a bunch of ill-mannered louts. Ready to open for business, The Viper Lounge management host a launch party.
