A gritty true story of a self-styled Robin Hood. Born into Glasgow’s ganglands and abandoned by his father, John Lawson’s tough tenement childhood sets him on a road to violent criminality.
From the seedy world of London’s sex industry, to the organised thuggery of the doors in the North of England’s clubs; from the thrill of the biker gangs to the glamour and tedium of celebrity body guarding and, ultimately, to the very excess of violence . . . John’s brutish arrogance becomes a trajectory of destruction, not only for himself but for the family he loves.
Driven by a twisted sense of justice, his multiple prison sentences mean little . . . until, through the most unlikely of circumstances, he is forced to face the demons of his own demise.
