A new breed of criminal is loose on the streets. They are the future of crime, and the police seem powerless to stop them.
Chased out of Jamaica by his rivals, Yardie leader 'Papa' Ernie Codling arrives in London determined to wipe out any competition. But his ambitions bring him into conflict with the capital's most powerful crimelord, William Parker. Though gang warfare seems inevitable, an unlikely and uneasy alliance is formed.
Meanwhile, small-time villain Frank Newton gathers his men for one final robbery that will bring them the financial security they all dream of. Once the job is completed, however, they discover that their haul belongs to Parker. They assume their days are numbered – till Parker makes them a surprise offer.
In return for their lives they must eliminate the merciless Yardie who is carving such a bloody swathe through the city underworld. With no choice but to agree, and constantly hunted by an obsessive and vengeful police officer, they must risk their lives in pursuit of the money and freedom they so badly need.
To Newton and his men, the Yardies represent a savage and ruthless future in which they themselves have no place. Their two criminal worlds are now doomed to collide. And when that happens, the streets will run red with blood...
