Project Detail

24 Hours in London

Synopsis

The battle for control of the urban jungle of post-Millennium London has reached critical mass. Martha Bedford witnesses a mob shoot out, giving the demoralised police force their best chance to even the score with the crime syndicates.

Christian, London's answer to the Godfather, is forging a partnership with Miss Lloyd, head of the most powerful criminal organisation in North America, and will stop at nothing to silence Martha, no matter how many die in the process.

If the police can keep Martha alive until the morning then it's game over for Christian.

The action heats up, with a series of explosive confrontations at police headquarters and in a central London hotel. Hidden identities are revealed and allegiances change, keeping the audience guessing right up to the final credits.
