Thomas Shelby never thought he would fall in love with a whore. In the bustling streets of 1920s Birmingham, Alicent, a prostitute since her teenage years, with her irresistible charm, had only one goal : to make money. Every encounter was a transaction, a way to survive in a ruthless world.
When their paths crossed, she saw him as just another client. However, over time, something unexpected happened. Behind his hardened exterior, he began to feel drawn to her, though he tried hard not to show it.
As they fought their own inner demons, they had to face the decision of whether they were willing to risk everything for a love that could either save them... or destroy them.

Aristocrats and gangsters have a lot in common.
They're both selfish, get bored easily, and have access to wads of cash they didn't work honestly to get and neither have any interest in bourgeois rules or morality.

Well...
...on the outside, at least.
