Essex Boys: Law of Survival

Synopsis

A young man witnesses a gangland execution by a corrupt police officer in rural East Essex. He finds himself targeted by the unprincipled cops, and after a vicious attack that almost kills him he vows to take revenge during his recovery. But his uncle has lived in this world for decades and counsels him that the most valuable lessons he can learn are those of the laws of survival. He must learn to exact his revenge while keeping the political landscape between police and gangsters calm and balanced. The greatest prize is to play the game and survive.
