Paul Tanter directs this British crime sequel in which a reformed
football hooligan who has testified against powerful London
gangsters finds his safety under threat. Mike Jacobs (Nick Nevern)
was never entirely comfortable with the company he kept in London
and now lives in Spain, safeguarded by the Witness Protection
Programme after his evidence put several of his former associates
behind bars. However, Mike's fatal weakness is his passion for the
England football team and his problems begin when he is spotted
attending a game. Soon his life is turned upside down as those he
betrayed seek revenge through the kidnapping of his friend Katie
(Rita Ramnani). With less than a week to gather the two million
pound ransom required to save her, Mike's quest will take him back
to London and into grave danger.
