the long version

1971. London gang boss Annie Carter is living the New York high life with the feared Italian godfather, Constantine Barolli. Then family tragedy strikes, signalling a major shift in mafia power. Annie flees to London with her daughter Layla, but someone wants her dead and the only way she can stay alive is to find out who's paying her pursuers, and to strike first. Then, the reappearance of an old East End face sparks a shocking suspicion. Is it possible that Annie's first and greatest love didn't die two years ago, as she had been led to believe?
