Working-class Manchester: a seedy underworld populated in part by rough, butch security guards and clubowners. Amongst its denizens is Matt, recently discharged from Her Majesty's armed forces and now employed by the security firm Sureforce - a company ruled by an iron-fisted, well-muscled boss. Matt's got no complaints, though. It's good money and there are plenty of perks - including hanging with the beefiest, meanest, hardest lads in town.
