Synopsis: 1990. The rave scene has arrived from Ibiza and warehouse parties are exploding across the UK bringing phenomenal wealth to the organisers.
In Manchester, best mates Matt and Dylan are in their early 20’s and long to be more than just punters. As the government moves to outlaw the scene, it’s now or never and they quickly rise through the ranks to join the promoting elite. They are taken on a wild journey from the exclusive VIP rooms of London clubs to the outrageous parties in Ibiza super-villas and the hedonism of Amsterdam. It’s everything they dreamed of and more.
But as their success continues to grow, they attract a more dark and sinister world. Matt and Dylan start to drift apart as they are forced to question the dreams they set out to achieve and their once solid friendship.

Synopsis: Across the city organised gangs are fighting for control
of the lucrative supply of narcotics but supremacy in this violent world
is short-lived as younger, hungrier and more ruthless gangs move up. Against
this brutal backdrop Ged Brennan, Moby, Ratter and their crew pursue a
dying trade of old time heists but, with two decades of meticulously planned
jobs behind him, Ged is now planning to turn his back on this life but
not before planning one final heist. As usual, he won't give them any
details until the morning of the job so, until then, they have to stay
off the street and keep out of trouble. The problem is that Moby loves
to go out and with just days to go before the heist, an incident in a
lapdance bar nearly leads to a gang war. Ratter, meanwhile, has long since
outgrown the needless danger of Ged's blags and is desperate to cut all
links with the crew but, for now, he has his own sinister reasons for
staying on board. As the make-or-break heist approaches, Ged needs to
summon all his street nous and killer instinct just to survive and even
then he needs friends in low places to ensure that the stains vanish without
trace.
