Synopsis

Gary "Gal" Dove (Ray Winstone) is blissfully retired to a Spanish villa paradise with the wife he adores. His perfect life style is shattered by the arrival of his gangster nemesis Don "Malky" Logan, (Ben Kingsley) intent on persuading him to return to London for a big heist. Desperate not to sacrifice his carefully built idyll, Dove is drawn into a shocking battle of wills with Logan, ending in an explosive psychological showdown, and a sensational underwater bank robbery in which he must risk everything to protect the woman he loves.
