Fall to the Top

Synopsis

In the world of London's drug war, there is no place for weakness.
Mickey O'Brien a common working man is sick of struggling to survive. He wants, he feels, he deserves more - more money, more respect, and more power. On a chance night out he meets a drug dealer and his climb through the ranks of the drug world begins. Driven by ambition and an unholy thirst for power. The more he rises, the more heartless he becomes.
Kiera, who once loved him, was there by his side. She always believed in his dreams, made excuses for the warning signs, and told herself there still existed good in him. However, as Mickey's fascination with control distorts into paranoia, and his hands get covered in blood, Kiera sees the monster he has turned into.
Now, pursued by his foes, tormented by his own mind, and having no one to turn to, Mickey has his final reckoning. In a world where loyalty is a commodity and power is ephemeral, the question really is when you fall to the top, who will be watching you hit the ground?
