Plot
The series describes the events that took place between the two wars. Britain, workers' districts of Birmingham 1920s. In the center of the plot is the Shelby family, who committed crimes (gambling, robbery, raids) in order to earn not only money, but also influence in the city, and turned into a real gang that terrifies all areas. The gang's trademark is razor-sharp caps. A detective from Belfast chases the gang, follows its tracks and tries to arrest each of its members. In the 6th season (this is already the 30s) a real war will unfold - the gang's business will be under threat due to the impending conflict.
