Danny lives alone in a cramped Peckham flat, working odd jobs and searching for his younger brother Michael, who vanished months ago. When a cryptic message arrives suggesting Michael might be involved with dangerous local criminals, Danny begins a desperate hunt through London's most unforgiving neighborhoods. Each lead brings him closer to a violent underground network trading in human trafficking and drug networks. Danny must navigate a world of brutal street economics where survival means knowing exactly how much you're worth—and how little others might value your life. As the search intensifies, he realizes Michael's disappearance connects to something far larger and more sinister than a simple missing persons case. Blood will be the price of truth.
