Series 3:
This is the reign of King Nidge (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor). Having carried out his ruthless coup to remove the erratic and paranoid John Boy, Nidge is determined not to make the same mistakes as his predecessor. He runs his criminal enterprises – mainly drug dealing and prostitution – sensibly, quietly making money and staying under the police radar. But Nidge finds himself dissatisfied with his new power, frustrated with his life with Trish (Aoibhinn McGinnity), annoyed that he is going bald – the threat of a mid-life crisis blinds him to the cracks already showing in the gang. Darren (Robbie Sheehan) – who has lost his brother, his love and his soul – is back at Nidge’s side but his loyalty is yet to be tested. Fran (Peter Coonan) is out of prison and Nidge brings him back into the fold, but he too has his own agendas and grudges. And Tommy’s (Killian Scott) family life with Siobhan (Charlie Murphy) and Leighton is jeopardised by his on-off relationship with Debbie (Susan Loughnane).

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Nidge struggles to hold everything together – while tensions between him and an increasingly volatile Darren break out into open conflict.

But maybe there is a deal to be done, and as Nidge sets out to enter the lion’s den, a series of betrayals is set in motion leading to redemption, vengeance, and murder…
