About

Never cross the line.

In London, a drug dealer grows increasingly desperate over the course of a week after a botched deal lands him in the merciless clutches of a ruthless crime lord. The more desperate his behaviour, the more isolated he becomes until there's nothing left between him and the bullet his debtors intend to fire his way.
