Synopsis

Johnny Doyle has been hiding in London, trying to bury the violent life he fled in Ireland. His fragile anonymity collapses when Flynn, the man who once mentored him, orchestrates a breakout from Brixton Prison. Pulled back into a world of old loyalties and brutal debts, Johnny must decide whether to protect the quiet existence he’s built or answer the call of a past that refuses to let him go — a choice that will force him to face the consequences of who he used to be.
