The Thrill of the Chase is a brutal, uncompromising, and darkly comic exploration of masculinity and sexual politics. When hard-working, timid Nicky unexpectedly announces his intentions to wed his troubled girlfriend Izzy to his lifelong friend and flat mate the carefree, womanizing Charlie, thus turning his back on not only their bachelor lifestyles but the stunning penthouse apartment they share in the heart of the city, the affronted Charlie suggests a perverse wager – which threatens both their friendship and their very existence.
