synopsis
In contemporary London, real estate has supplanted drugs as the biggest market, and criminals are its most enthusiastic entrepreneurs. But for anyone looking to get in--from small-time crook One Two to shady Russian billionaire Uri Obomavich--there's only one man to see: Lenny Cole. A mobster from the old school, Lenny knows the right wheels to grease and has his hand on the throat of any bureaucrat, broker or gangster that matters. With one phone call, Lenny can make the red tape disappear. But as Lenny's right-hand man Archy tells him, London is ground zero for the changing times, with big-time mobsters from the East, hungry criminals from the streets, and everyone in-between, all vying to change the rules of commerce and crime. With millions up for grabs, all of London's criminal underworld conspires, colludes and collides with one another in an effort to take their cut. But as high rollers and petty criminals alike jockey for dominance, the true prize of one multi-million-dollar deal will fall into the hands of a junkie rock star--Lenny' stepson, presumed dead but very much alive.

All types of hoods enter the fray, with Thandie Newton the sexiest as a crooked accountant, Mark Strong the most… Continued
