'A former hard-man. O'Grady, returns after ten years in prison to the shabby part of North London where he used to live. Over the past decade. London has changed at a pace he finds difficult to cope with. The Irish community to which he once belonged has moved out of the area and many of the crooks and drinkers who were his friends have eased themselves into respectable middle age.
