From the award winning team that brought you THE FOOTBALL FACTORY and played out against the classicly cool sounds of the 80’s, THE BUSINESS is Goodfellas meets Sexy Beast in Spain’s sun drenched costa del crime…

Back in the money hungry 1980’s, Spain became a new home for London’s most notorious gangsters looking to escape the long arm of British law…

Frankie (DANNY DYER – The Football Factory, Human Traffic) is a young lad on the run from the high-rise ghettos of South London, to a new life in Malaga with nothing but a biscuit tin stuffed full of cash in his hand luggage. He has no idea that this delivery to the super-suave playboy and ex-con Charlie (TAMER HASSAN – Batman Begins, The Calcium Kid), will change his life forever…

Now under Charlie’s wing and working alongside the psychotic Sonny (GEOFF BELL – Girl With A Pearl Earring, Mean Machine), Frankie soon becomes one of the gang, and finds himself drawn into a flamboyant and violent world of organised crime – and loving every minute of it.

Fuelled by money, women, drugs and Ferraris, life at the top is sweet. But things can get tough around the edges if you attract the wrong sort of attention – especially when it’s from Sonny’s drop dead gorgeous girlfriend Carly (GEORGINA CHAPMAN), the outrageous Mayor of Puerto Banus, the vindictive Spanish Coast Guards – not to mention the seriously lethal Colombian mafia…

In THE BUSINESS, Frankie’s about to find out that when you’re making more money than God, and living life at a 1000 miles an hour in a gangster’s paradise – it can all evaporate in a heartbeat, leaving you with far more than a jail sentence to worry about!
