Detailed Synopsis
Gary King tells the story of one of the best nights of his life. He tells the story of June 22nd, 1990 and his friends Oliver Chamberlain, Peter Page, Steven Prince, and Andy Knightley. As they leave school on the last day they pass the "Marmalade Sandwich" consisting of Erika Leekes, Becky Salt and Tracy Benson. He gives a brief background on all of his friends, Oliver's idea that he was a player, Peter's abuse from Shane Hawkins, Steven's crush on Sam Chamberlain, and Andy who he considered his wingman. He goes on to mention their quest to complete the Golden Mile, a pub crawl consisting of The First Post, The Old Familiar, The Famous Cock, The Cross Hands, The Good Companions, The Trusty Servant, The Two Headed Dog, The Mermaid, The Beehive, The King's Head, The Hole in the Wall and finally, The World's End. He relays the events as they happened that night, their time hanging out with Basil, buying weed from Reverend Green, Oliver quitting after The Trusty Servant, having sex with Sam in the bar bathroom, Peter quitting after smoking the weed they bought, and then them quitting before finishing. He finished by telling the crowd, he knew life would never feel that good again, and then tells his mental health support group, it hasn't. Pale Young Man asks him if he is disappointed he never made it to The World's End, Gary tells him no, but then smiles. Scenes from the friends currently lives are juxtaposed against each other, mostly their success versus Gary's, Steven and Fitness Instructor (26), and Peter and Peter's Wife|Vanessa and family. Gary goes to Peter's Dad's car dealership and surprises Peter. Peter's Dad angrily asks what Gary is doing there and then walks away. Gary tells Peter that the old gang is getting together to try and complete the Golden Mile and Peter finds it hard to believe that Andy agreed to go. He then tells Gary, he will have to ask Vanessa. As Steven is going over construction plans with Head Builder, Head Builder points out Gary walking on the site with no protective gear. Gary tells Steven of the plan to complete the Golden Mile and Steven is also surprised to hear that Andy has agreed to come. Gary next goes to a house Oliver is selling and tells him of the plan. Young Lady and Young Man are taking a tour of the house and tell Oliver the house is out of their price range and Gary ruins the deal for Oliver. Before agreeing to go, Oliver reconfirms that Andy is going and Gary tells him, he is. Felicity tells Andy, he has a friend to see him and Andy looks at Gary waiting outside his office and tells her, he doesn't. Gary tells Andy of the plan to go back to complete the Golden Mile and Andy asks him to leave. Before leaving, Gary pays Andy back the money he owed him and tells him his mother died recently and always liked Andy. On Friday they all meet at the train station, including Andy.
