Gary Dove lebt mit seiner Frau einen ruhigen Lebensabend an der spanischen Costa Del Sol. Er hat einem Beruf, der ihn jahrelange Haft kostete, endgültig ein Ende gesetzt.

Gary 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 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.

'My aim is to make a film that people want to see, not just something to show in an art house to seven of my friends. In Britain we are so reserved in our tastes. We can only approach passion in films from a distance. I want to get back to a cinema that I admire; the cinema of the great passionate filmakers who give you a whole new dreamscape.'-Jonathan Glazer, DIRECTOR.
