Synopsis

Crime was, initially, a family matter. Throughout Oliver's life, three generations have used assassination as a means to their ends. For them, it is something personal, intimate and private. From the unhurried lifestyle of the post-war years to the hustle and bustle of the present day, the irrepressible lust and greed of the Usher family has tainted the lives of all those who surround them. But above all, they have marked the life of one man, Oliver, who, in his latter years, will be laden with the burden of sin, which passes like a stigma from generation to generation. And he will discover that perhaps crime is not as normal as his life has led him to believe after all… Laura – beautiful, intelligent and thoroughly ruthless, is tragically widowed after the suicide of her first husband. But was it suicide? Oliver - Laura’s stepson, was witness to the death of his mother and hasn’t spoken since. But is he as innocent as he seems? Alexandra - a successful, fiercely independent young woman, who together with her brother Harry discovers a terrible secret about their father Oliver. But they too, share a secret - One family, three generations and a crime that links them all. A past they cannot escape from and a future that threatens to expose them.

Synopsis

Journalism student Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) has been expelled from Harvard for a crime he didn’t commit. His promising career ended and his future looking bleak, he heads for London to seek refuge with his married sister Shannon (Claire Forlani) and her husband Steve (Marc Warren).
 
Steve introduces Matt to his younger brother Pete (Charlie Hunnam) and, through their friendship, Matt enters the world of football fanaticism and the secrecy and intrigue of the football firm.
 
Pete Dunham and his close knit group of friends make up the Green Street Elite (GSE), a hard core group of West Ham United supporters – and one of the toughest London football firms. All the football clubs have a firm and they all have one aim – to be the most feared and respected mob in the country – no matter what it takes. As Pete explains ‘West Ham’s football is mediocre, but our firm’s top notch and everyone knows it… it’s really about reputation – humiliating the other mob be beating them in a row or doing things that other firms get to hear about.’ Matt is not only drawn into the sheer excitement of the game of football itself, but also the brotherhood and loyalty of life inside the GSE. The buzz that violence brings to him produces a sense of power that he has never before experienced.
