During the swinging sixties in London, there was only one crime boss in Soho that mattered: the indomitable Harry Starks (Mark Strong). With a reputation for savagery and generosity in equal measure, Starks ruled central London with a coercive fist and his favourite implement of torture: the red-hot poker. Based on Jake Arnott's best selling novel, which combines fact with fiction, this is a retrospective tale of criminality in the 1960s through to the 1980s, told from the view of four characters as they encounter the menacing Starks.
