The year is 1953 just at the aftermath of World War 2 and in the streets of the city of Glasgow; another world war seems to be brewing. But this time, it all has to do with crime lords and their gangs and the war of supremacy in this city. The murder of a member of a family that has twins, by the name of Tam and Frankie McGahem sparks some intriguing run of events. First Tam is murdered in cold blood by two men, who upon answering the door, Tam found himself staring down the barrels of shotguns and that’s how his life ended. His brother comes to Lennox for help in identifying who actually ordered the hit on Tam. Lennox instinctively refuses to help Frankie but later on in that day, Frankie is found dead. His head has actually been severely disfigured.

The first suspect is Lennox and in order to prove his innocence, he actually has to come out and find who actually it was that killed the twins. He has to actually dodge some of the most dangerous men and this does not just include Glasgow’s deadly killers but others from outside as well.

One of the owners of this establishment is bludgeoned to death by a statue of his favorite dog and it is up to Lennox to solve this crime and find out who it actually was that did this. During the night of the murder, Lennox was with the deceased’s daughter so there is no cause to actually suspect him.

In the process of investigating this murder, he finds out that the deceased, Jimmy Macfarlane was not just into dog racing and he runs another cartel right under the noses of the people in this dog racing establishment. One of the Three Kings’ crime bosses by the name of Willie Sneddon is involved in the murder but what surprises Lennox the more is the existence of a far more mysterious and dangerous player that actually makes the Three Kings look like kids in their own game.
