Further details

Wicky finds himself on a job for an old childhood school friend, Justin, who it turns out has done rather well for himself. Justin's got the lot: a dream house, a supercar, an adorable child, a grand piano, and a big pool of blood in his hall where the grand piano unfortunately fell on someone. Good thing Wicky's there to clean up.

Reunited after years, Wicky and Justin decide to call up a few other old friends and get the gang back together again. But Wicky finds it increasingly hard to keep a lid on his massive jealousy. How come Justin got to gobble up all the luck, like a luck pie? And how come everyone else seems to have ended up happier than him?
