　　影片以黑帮老大（马尔科姆·麦克道威尔 Malcolm McDowell 饰）第一人称的角度讲述了六十年代伦敦血雨腥风的黑帮恩怨。
　　名不见经传的街头小混混（保罗·贝坦尼 Paul Bettany 饰）幸运地成为了在当时伦敦城呼风唤雨的黑帮老大佛莱迪（大卫·休里斯 David Thewlis 饰）的手下。纸醉金迷的生活诱惑着他，金钱和地位更加让他心驰神往。佛莱迪似乎拥有一切至高无上的权利，走到哪里都只手遮天，吃香喝辣。不仅如此，佛莱迪生活奢侈又有品味，笔挺的西装和优雅的举止，更加使得小混混充满着羡慕和妒忌。渐渐地，这赤裸裸的欲望开始膨胀变质，在勾心斗角的黑帮势力开始交锋的时候，他甚至趁机想取代老大的位置。

　　Mari (Marina Vlady) runs a boardinghouse for girls who are in trouble, and Juli (Lili Monori) is a young married woman who is fleeing her passionate marriage with an uncontrollable alcoholic. She has brought her young daughter along with her. Though this is not allowed under the house rules, Mari makes an exception for Juli. Both women are desperately unfulfilled - Mari has a narrow-minded and passionless man for a husband, and Juli still loves her husband, whom she recognizes as a person she cannot continue living with. The two turn to each other for comfort, and each woman gains necessary insights into her own life in seeing the other's struggles. This sober movie by feminist director Marta Meszaros was not a rousing box-office success.
