Set in the 1960's and based on the many events in a true life story.

Alex Cohen, out of the necessity to provide for his family, has learnt about business from a very early age.

As he becomes increasingly overstretched in his business dealings, he enters into the dark world of criminality, to fund his ever increasing desire for the high life.

He unwittingly finds himself linked to an East End gang, with the police trying to nail him for his involvement.

But Alex has an ace up his sleeve, whether or not he can play it, remains to be seen.
