LOGLINE:

An NCA agent on the run for a crime he didn’t commit is recruited by a gangster to carry out a crime spree in exchange for his exile.

SYNOPSIS:

Will Webb has a high-flying career working in the narcotics division of the National Crime Agency. His life drastically changes when Will is framed for killing an unarmed black man in cold blood during a routine drug bust.

Tensions in England between the police and black people hit boiling point, resulting in rioting and protests all around the country. Then the unthinkable happens when Will is framed for killing the young man and overnight Will becomes the most wanted man in the country. Realising that there is a conspiracy against him, Will seeks refuge and help from his cousin Colm in the West Country.

Using his detailed knowledge of narcotics gangs, Will devises a plan to rob a drugs distribution hub to pay Chester, a high-level gangster, for passage out of the country. Will and Colm complete the heist, but Chester doesn’t keep his word and strong-arms Will into robbing his rival’s drugs distribution network, in exchange for his exile.

Will and Colm go on high-risk, heist several heists each attracting more attention from the NCA and other criminal organisations.
