Michael and his friend Ronnie Phelan (Sean Bean) have successfully been smuggling cocaine directly from Colombia into Liverpool and beyond for years.

But when a shipment mysteriously disappears, their criminal empire begins to crumble, setting off a chain of events that will test loyalties and put everyone in danger.

The series boasts an impressive lineup of talent alongside Bean, including James Nelson-Joyce (Bird) as our protagonist Michael Kavanagh, Hannah Onslow (Empire of Light) as Diana Williams, Michael's love interest, Jack McMullen (Hijack) as Jamie Phelan, Ronnie's son, and Julie Graham (Shetland) as the matriarch of the Phelan family. Additional cast members include Laura Aikman, Kevin Harvey, Saoirse-Monica Jackson (of Derry Girls fame), Mike Noble, Bobby Schofield, Darci Shaw, and Stephen Walters.
