Episode 1

Ronan Bennett's Bafta-nominated drama returns for a second four-part series, as the worlds of organised crime, property development and corporate greed collide on the Summerhouse Estate. Charming, sexy and clever, 27-year-old Dushane has finally made it as 'Top Boy', and is moving into the big time with boss Joe. But Dushane's former right hand man Sully is now a potentially dangerous rival with a new partner-in-crime, violent and volatile Mike. When the police discover the body of arch-rival Kamale, Dushane, Sully and Dris are arrested for the murder, and Dushane meets beautiful and smart solicitor Rhianna who proves to be more than a match for the police. With trials for the district youth squad coming up, 15-year-old Ra'Nell is keeping his head down, but his best friend Gem (Giacomo Mancini) gets caught up in events that he is unable to control. Ra'Nell's mother Lisa makes a new start after her nervous breakdown by running a hair salon with her friend Zoe. But a conversation with a property developer proves troubling... Thrilling, raw, frightening, sad, hopeful and surprisingly funny, this original drama is an honest and gripping rendition of inner-city life.
