Plot
Jay (Ghetts) has big dreams, but his hopes are maimed by his allegiance to both his crew and Hackney crime boss Beverley (Sharon Duncan-Brewster). Jay sets about setting the grounds for his own organised crime ring with the help of Mustafa (Adam Deacon). Things are progressing well until Beverley discovers his treachery, and an ill-fated burglary in North London and a trip to Jamaica rips the crew apart. Whilst their operations are being watched by an undercover Police officer Gunz (Dylan Duffus), who has been used to integrate himself into the crew.[4][5]
