In the 1930s, amidst the economic turmoil and political unrest, Tony Cox, a jobless man, finds himself caught up in a surge of right-wing activism. Mass rallies, charismatic leaders, and public violence characterize this movement. As he rises through the ranks of the British Union of Fascists, Tony is interned during the outbreak of the Second World War. Upon his release, he reinvents himself, hiding his past from everyone, including his beloved grandson. However, when a violent secret from his past resurfaces, Tony's world is shattered, forcing him to confront the consequences of his actions.

Fast forward to the 1990s, and David Coxon-Dyet, Tony's grandson, looks up to him with admiration and respect. He knows nothing about his grandfather's secret past, but as his own life begins to unravel with redundancy and economic insecurity, the truth about his grandfather's past is revealed. Betrayed by the actions of those close to him, Tony and David take extreme measures to reclaim control and seek justice.

The consequences of their actions reverberate throughout the streets, impacting the lives of those involved. This story explores the complex relationship between grandfather and grandson, the power of secrets, and the lengths people will go to protect their own. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of extremism and the importance of understanding one's history.
