The syndicate is run by a ruthless young American who turns disaffected young Britons into hardened criminals. The gang has gunned down a well-known mobster and supplies cheap heroin to dance clubs all over London. Harris hooks up with British police officer Edward Foster (Iain Glen). They discover that the drug ring is just a small part of a huge international mob -- and that a young man whose own father has worked for the American-run mob all his life is the key to cracking the ring. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Longo e sem foco, o filme procura conferir maior dimensão aos protagonistas através de subtramas dispensáveis envolvendo suas parceiras.
