In 1980s East London, a gang of hopeless crooks become embroiled in a major gold heist.
It's the early 80s, and times are hard in London's East End. But when Albert and his gang of small-time crooks get a lot more than they bargained for, life is set to change forever...
News of the robbery spreads far and wide. As the oblivious gang try to work out an even split of the gold, the police start to sniff around for clues. Will Sidney give the game away?
Mick sets about hiding the loot, while Albert and Natasha get an offer they really can't refuse. The gang escape to a safe house, but things take an unexpected turn.
Albert throws himself into smelting gold as fast as Billy can sell it on. With cash rolling in, some of the gang are invited to meet mysterious money launderer The Baptist. But cracks start to show.
Living it large with nightclubs and gold Bentleys, Mick and Phil are starting to draw unwanted attention. Meanwhile, Sidney's getting death threats. As the net closes in, is time running out?
The police are getting close, and Ma McTavish is breathing down Mick's neck for her share of the gold. Time to make a run for it. But how? Well, Albert has a plan - and this time, it might just work!
Spain, 1985. Eighteen months have passed since the gang's gold heist. While Mick languishes in prison, Albert, Tash and Sidney have escaped to start a new life on the Costa del Crime.
Tash and Albert receive some unexpected visitors - and their arrival threatens to upend everything they've built.
The gang head to Colombia to meet the cartel, headed by the infamous Pablo Escobar, to discuss their gold for cocaine trade. Meanwhile, Tash's friendship blossoms with undercover Detective Thread and Sidney has an unexpected visitor at his beach bar.
All hell breaks loose as the gang become front page news. Their new life in Spain is under threat, and drastic action is needed. But it's not long before they pass the point of no return.
The boys head out to sea to make the trade with the Colombians, while Tash receives an unwelcome visitor whose arrival changes everything.
Tash is under arrest and, as the gang ponder their next move, Albert makes a shocking discovery that forces the boys to make their final move.
