The Crew

Synopsis

Across the city organised gangs are fighting for control of the lucrative supply of narcotics but supremacy in this violent world is short-lived as younger, hungrier and more ruthless gangs move up. Against this brutal backdrop Ged Brennan, his younger brother Ratter and their crew pursue a dying trade of old time heists, but with two decades of meticulously planned jobs behind them, Ged is planning to turn his back on this life after one final heist. The problem is that Ratter has long since outgrown the needless danger of Ged's blags and has become increasingly desperate to move into the profitable world of drugs, a world that Ged wants nothing to do with. To make the move Ratter knows that he must cut all links with his brother but, for now, he has his own sinister reasons for staying on board. As the make-or-break heist approaches Ged must summon all of his street nous and killer instinct just to survive, and even then he needs friends in low places to ensure that the stains vanish without trace.
