So, he takes up a job at a cash-in-transit outfit. Paul Ryan heists a wagon of his employer and sets out to take revenge for his father’s death in East End, London.

After getting to the bottom of the mystery of his father’ death, Paul Ryan goes on to take up the role of a quasi-MI-5 agent in order to find and rescue England’s Home Secretary abducted by a terrorist organization based in Europe. In the meantime, a gang leader from East End plans to steal 2 million pounds from Paul Ryan. But, Paul gets to him before he could rob him. Later, a change in the hierarchy of East End’s gangs finds Paul caught up in a deadly feud. Following the execution of a terrorist group’s leader, Paul Ryan is set on their target along with the Home Secretary. The events that follow next make Paul believe that an attempt to assassinate the minister might take place soon.
