Synopsis

As a result of being betrayed by his brother and condemned to prison, newly released Mitchell 'Boots' Mason (Gary Stretch - DEAD MAN'S SHOES), is forced to act as 'The Heavy' for wealthy business man Anawalt (Stephen Rea - THE CRYING GAME) and his cocky assistant Rubin (Lee Ryan - BLUE). Seizing the chance too earn a fresh start, Boots has one last job to complete, but is stitched up by Anawalt. Consequently things suddenly become a whole lot more complicated.

Meanwhile Boots' brother, Christian, (Adrian Paul - HIGHLANDER), is a high flying politician contemplating life as the next Prime Minister and keen to steer clear of his brother's shady work.

But pressured by his father (Christopher Lee - THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING) to make amends at any cost and doggedly pursued by an unscrupulous police detective Dunn (Vinnie Jones - LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS), Boots is faced with a life-defining choice between redemption and revenge.
