Pressure builds on Nidge as the leaders of Dano's organisation send an inquisitor down from the north to thwart him, and matters only get worse as his lies start to catch up with him.

As both Dano and the Gardaí begin to put the puzzle together, what can Nidge do to stay ahead and stay alive?

Dublin gang boss Nidge has been blooded and has proved his mettle. He has killed friend and foe to become King. But the throne is a dark and lonely place.

Nidge coerces his dentist into cooperating with him, unaware that Detective Inspector Moynihan is setting up a complex undercover operation to track and ultimately bring him down.

After almost losing everything to D.I. Moynihan’s sting operation, Nidge travels to Spain to negotiate with a wholesale supplier for a new drugs shipment. Meanwhile, Patrick has returned to Dublin to exact revenge, and tensions between Fran and Nidge reach boiling point.

With Pauley’s help, Nidge is back in business and arrangements are made for the first shipment under the new deal. Meanwhile Moynihan wrestles with a labyrinthine Garda bureaucracy.
