Mad Dogs
About the show
Rick, Baxter, Woody and Quinn have been mates since school. In their 40s, they are a mix of single, married and divorced, all holding down demanding but reasonably well paid jobs, living their lives, with varying degrees of success. The fifth member of their gang – Alvo, the owner of a successful property business – lives in Majorca.
As the drama opens, Rick, Baxter, Woody and Quinn are on their way to Alvo’s to celebrate his retirement. Alvo has paid for the whole trip – he wants to mark selling his business for a packet with his oldest friends.
As the weekend unfolds, a more prickly side to Alvo starts to emerge. One by one, he asks his friends what they’ve done with their lives, whether they’re truly happy, wouldn’t they rather live like him?
On a drunken whim, after a long boozy lunch, Alvo persuades the lads that it would be really fun to ‘borrow’ a wealthy expat’s yacht, and sail it around the bay. Pumped up on adrenaline, they take the boat for a sail, drinking the champagne on board.
But when a masked man appears at the villa later that day, it becomes clear Alvo isn’t quite the man they thought he was. What happens next will test their nerve, their loyalty and change their lives forever.
