Amsterdam, 2001. A shoot-out in the city's docklands leaves one man
grievously injured and a rival drug dealer killed outright. The
injured man is Tony Spencer from Coventry. Aka The Old Man. Once a
prolific businessman, he is now considered Public Enemy No. 1 by
the National Crime Squad and the head of several smuggling rings
operating between the UK, Holland, Morocco, and Spain. At the age
of 50, with bank robberies, counterfeiting, and several fortunes
gained and lost behind him, he is on the run and living abroad. As
Spencer's life hangs in the balance, his son Jason arrives in
Amsterdam. While he prays for a miraculous recovery, he ponders who
his father really is. He has raced anxiously to be by his bedside
and yet he is somebody he doesn't know well at all. Jason begins
digging in earnest. He begins to piece together the story of The
Old Man's life. It's a story that is riddled with contradictions: a
man who makes millions but saves nothing, prizes freedom but spends
years inside, works in a violent world but who - seemingly - avoids
violence. Spencer was absent, often in prison, for much of his
upbringing but now, as his father recovers from the shooting, Jason
begins to wonder. Maybe, if he can come to understand his father's
life, he can begin to understand his own...
