This City is Ours

THIS CITY IS OURS is the story of Michael (James Nelson-Joyce, BLACK MIRROR), a man who for all of his adult life has been involved in organized crime…but for the first time in his life, Michael is in love. For the first time in his life, he sees beyond the day-to-day, he sees a future: something to win and something to lose – Diana (Hannah Onslow, Empire of  Light). The eight-episode crime drama tells the story of Michael and Diana’s love affair, set against the disintegration of Michael’s crime gang. For years, together with his friend Ronnie (Sean Bean, GAME OF THRONES), Michael has successfully been bringing cocaine into the City and beyond, directly from Columbia; but when a shipment goes missing, then he knows their Kingdom is under attack. The series explores what happens when Ronnie’s son Jamie (Jack McMullen, Ford v Ferrari) decides he wants to inherit their kingdom and that there is no longer a place for Michael at the table. Both Michael and Jamie have bold ideas to modernize the gang and they will battle for control of it. But Michael’s biggest battle will be to save the woman he loves and the child he has always wanted. THIS CITY IS OURS is a story about family and love destroyed and corrupted by ambition, pride and greed. It’s a story about power: what we will do to secure and keep it.
