Plot Summary: When a young gangster (Bettany)
starts working for gang leader Freddie Mays (Thewlis), known as the Butcher of Mayfair, he dreams of being everything that Freddie is: smooth, sophisticated, impeccably dressed, always with the
right women, and driving the fanciest cars. Freddie takes the young gangster (aka Gangster 55) under his wing as a potential war with a rival gang starts to heat up. After Freddie falls for
Karen, whom 55 had his eye on, the young gangster lies in wait for an opportunity to change things, and when that moment comes, he leaves a bloodbath of betrayal in his wake.
