4.9/5 (18250 ratings)

Description:Set in the world of independent greyhound racing ('flapping'), Justin Hopper's poignant drama tells of three generations of men all connected with the sport.Teenager Carl and his grandfather Eric dream of one day breeding a winning greyhound and in Angelfish they believe they might have a star. At the track, Angelfish surpasses all expectations and wins her first race. But Carl's euphoria is cut short when he comes face-to-face with his father Mick, who left without a trace years previously. Although Carl can barely remember him, Mick is desperate to be given a second-chance. But Eric has heard it all before; his son has an ominous track record of letting everyone down and he can't bear to see it happen to Carl again. Has Mick really changed his ways or is this return just part of another ruse?In the UK there are two types of greyhound racing; registered racing, which is regulated by the Greyhound Board of Great Britain; and 'flapping', which exists independently. Although it's not illegal, flapping requires no licensing and there's no code of practice. For some, it's just about the sport and the dogs. For others, it's all about the gambling - and with that come shady characters, dangerous criminality and foul play.
