The Heavy

One is a henchman (Gary Stretch) for a successful, yet shady businessman (Stephen Rea). The other is a prime candidate for Prime Minister (Adrian Paul).
In a world where none can be trusted and loyalty is rarer, our conflicted hero (Gary Stretch) has a once-in-a-lifetime chance for revenge against his estranged family (Christopher Lee and Jean Marsh). But he must confront the truths of their dark past, even as he's being hunted by a psychotic detective (Vinnie Jones).
