Dominic Noonan leads one of Manchester's most notorious crime families, and this film follows him through the city as he meets with associates, settles disputes, and talks openly about the life he has built on violence and loyalty. Noonan sits for extended interviews describing how the family holds its territory and enforces its own code, while relatives and associates add their own accounts of the bonds and betrayals that keep the organization together and occasionally threaten to break it apart. The camera trails Noonan on his rounds through the streets, watching him move between meetings and confrontations with an ease that suggests decades of practice. There is no narrator standing between the audience and its subject; Noonan speaks for himself, and the film lets his account of power, family, and criminality stand largely unchallenged. What emerges is a portrait of a man who has made his reputation, and his family's, out of controlling a very specific patch of Manchester.
