Forget what you know of England, of the "Land of Hope and Glory." Instead,try damp and depressing, and embrace this miserable island for what it is. Ourstory kicks off in 1976: the country coming apart at its flared corduroy seams,a decade after the Great Train Robbery, when British crime has gone decidedlysoft in the middle. Time for a new generation of criminals to rise: a band ofsnotty-nosed heroes driven by destiny and cheap cider, who will strike fear backinto the establishment, put art back into crime and crime back into art, andpull off what will become known as the heist of the century.
