Essex Boys
Synopsis
Billy's ability to keep his mouth shut earns him a rewarding job with Locke's 'firm'. Nicole, his girlfriend, warns him about being sucked into the criminal underworld. Billy learns that Locke is having an affair with Suzy and he becomes party to the drug deal. The pills turn out a bad batch resulting in hospitalisation of Essex clubbers, and the death of Suzy at Locke's hands in Billy's house.
Locke plots revenge on Dyke, but Dyke has plans of his own resulting in the bloody ambush of Locke and his gang in their Range Rover. With Locke dead, Dyke offers Billy a new job driving Lisa. Billy learns that Lisa is sleeping with Dyke and running Jason's 'firm'. To get at Dyke's money, Lisa seduces Billy. Dyke finds out and tries to kill Billy. Billy manages to escape to Lisa's arms. Lisa, however, silently slips into the night, with the money, leaving Billy to contend with the Police.
