Betrayal, family loyalties, secrets: not all gangsters live in the east end.
Two families run this part of Manchester: the Johnsons and the Bennetts. With the head of the Johnson family banged up, the Bennetts have made their move. But power comes at a price...
Now Charlie Johnson is out of prison and he wants his empire back. But the Bennetts have had a taste of the money and the control. Charlie's sons want to strike now and destroy their rivals but Charlie wants to wait. He has a personal score to settle.
Charlie's wife Janey hates that her controlling husband is home from prison and is hatching a plan to leave him, but she knows he won't let her go easily - not with the secrets she carries. She needs allies - and through her daughter and her passionate affairs, she may have found the way out she needs.
But for all of them, getting what they want will mean risking everything.
