Mickey Defoe is one of life's natural born losers. So, when foxy Sandy Browne, second-runner up on Big Sister, a reality TV competition, takes an interest in him and his work as a sculptor, he's flattered. It seems too good to be true and it is: Sandy is just using him. She needs his skills to help her exact revenge on Honey Dew, the double-crossing, artificially breasted winner of the show who reneged on her promised to split the [pound]100k prize money with Sandy. But Mickey isn't quite the sap Sandy takes him for. He's on to her and he's not at all convinced that all is fair in love, war and game shows.
