The series tracks Michael Kavanagh, a longtime player in a cocaine ring with Ronnie Phelan. When Michael falls for Diana, he envisions a life beyond crime. But a missing shipment rattles the outfit, while Jamie, Ronnie’s son, aims to seize his father’s throne.

The story unfolds as a family crime thriller, with stakes around inheritance, loyalty and power within a group already under internal threat. Sean Bean stars as Ronnie Phelan, James Nelson-Joyce plays Michael Kavanagh, and Hannah Onslow portrays Diana Williams.

This broadcast is likely to appeal to viewers who follow British crime dramas focused on organized crime and family tensions. It’s less suited for those seeking a lighter series or a shorter format, with a storyline developed over multiple episodes.
