Sky's new series 'Gangs Of London' premieres this week.
It stars Colm Meaney as Finn Wallace, a London gangster whose death creates a major power vacuum within one of the city's major criminal organisations.
It also features Joe Cole as Sean Wallace, Lucian Msamati as Ed Dumani, Sope Dirsu Elliot Finch and Michelle Fairley as Marian Wallace.
"For 20 years, Finn Wallace was the most powerful criminal in London," say Sky.
"Billions of pounds flowed through his organisation each year. But now he’s dead – and nobody knows who ordered the hit.
"With rivals everywhere, it’s up to the impulsive Sean Wallace, with the help of the Dumani family headed by Ed Dumani to take his father’s place.
"If the situation wasn’t already dangerous enough, Sean’s assumption of power causes ripples in the world of international crime. Perhaps the one man who might be able to help him and be his ally is Elliot Finch, who up until now, has been one of life’s losers, a lowlife chancer with a mysterious interest in the Wallace family. But as the wind of fate blows, Elliot finds himself transported to the inner workings of the largest criminal organisation in London.
The show was created by Gareth Evans and Matt Flannery. Evans directed 'The Raid' films which feature some of the best action scenes of the last decade. So, expectations for that particular aspect of the show should be high.
All episodes will be available from April 23rd.
