    As a big player in the 90s London underworld, Terry Greene has always made a priority of 'taking care of business' personally.

The only person he can really trust in the entire world is his estranged wife, Sam. She must now take over the reins of his organisation, find the snitch and - in theory - get Terry off the hook. But after a shaky start, she quickly starts to get her own ideas . . .
