Based in a local bookmakers in North London on a Friday afternoon 'A Punters Prayer' follows a group of friends going about their daily routine as they recreate in the local bookies. Yiannis (Andreas Karras) a soulful, garrulous Anglo Greek former factory owner, Jack (Tommy O'Neil) an outspoken, complex pessimistic long shot hunter - sporting two black eyes and a swollen nose after an apparent car accident and Ian (Jamie Crew) a gullible, ultra-optimistic young lad in his early twenties are an interesting trio. The three, vary in age and life experiences, yet bizarrely the dynamic of their friendship works well for them; laddish banter, discussion about family life, work, and of course the core topic of common interest amongst them - gambling. The gambling 'bug' has a hold over each of them but they all differ in their approach to the habit. On this particular Friday afternoon, Jack decides to bet £250 on a horse win treble which if all three horses win, could net him approximately £350k. Jack's selection of various long-shots chosen by name rather than form creates a buzz at the bookies and suddenly his potential winning betting slip becomes a point of interest for more than one party. Throughout we encounter a variety of abstract characters including local opportunist Holt (Daniel Caltagirone and his two troublesome henchmen; bushy moustached 'Big' Bektash (Mem Ferda), a large Turkish man based in the neighbouring men's social club 'Shooters Club' - not only a terrible poker player, this womaniser is also a sore loser; 'Risk It All' Paul (Dexter Fletcher) visits the bookies once a month and literally risks it all at the drop of a hat by placing wild bets; Pipi (Shezai Fejzo) a playful Albanian arms dealer enjoys a flutter in the bookies back room poker games.
