In London, where there is money, there is power.
William Wroughton – ruthless, manipulative, and skillful – built half the city, and is the centre of a sprawling web of law-abiding business and dangerous crime alike. The only man standing opposite Wroughton’s immense power is one Stefen Cleve, an investment banker and head of a notorious crime family. The two operate a balance between their factions, but Cleve’s son, poised to be the heir of the Cleve empire, threatens the relationship that keeps the city at peace. Playing for the highest bidder are the mercenaries of the white collar world, grifters and thieves tightrope-walking between political forces for their own hedonistic gains.
On the streets, it’s a whole different world – ordinary people just trying to get by are at the mercy of vicious swindlers, drug pushers, violent criminals, and more. Corruption seems to be in every corner of the city, from politicians to police. Anything is easy if you know the right people – and for a steep price. The people of London toe the line between good and evil, waiting for the other shoe to drop and give them that picture-perfect life with the loving spouse and children, quaint suburban home, and well-paying job – or possibly send them tumbling down a path of drugs, destruction, and despair.
At Bitter Charlie, the world is never stagnant; the landscape always changing with the push and pull of the powers that be. From lowly prostitutes to gang bosses to those just trying to survive, nothing is ever as it seems. The question remains: which life will you lead?
