When aristocratic soldier Eddie Horniman returns to his family's sprawling English estate following his estranged father's death, he expects a standard inheritance. Instead, he discovers he has been named the Duke of Halstead over his erratic older brother, Freddy, and that the manor sits atop a multi-million-pound underground cannabis empire run by the ruthless Glaswegian kingpin, Bobby Glass. Motivated by a desperate desire to protect his family, settle Freddy’s catastrophic gambling debts to dangerous loan sharks, and shield his grieving mother, Eddie attempts to untangle the estate from the criminal underworld once and for all.Guided—and frequently manipulated—by Bobby’s razor-sharp, ice-cold daughter and business proxy, Susie Glass, Eddie is reluctantly drawn deeper into the illicit trade.
