But when the family boss, Al Kaleo, is arrested, his ambitious and impulsive son, Asher, takes charge – despite his father’s objections. Meanwhile, a London drug gang, led by Ruvelle, tries to take over Birmingham’s drug trade, sparking a violent struggle for control. Caught in the middle is TJ, a teenage runaway who finds himself in a dangerous situation and must decide whether to escape or become part of this violent world. As the city erupts in conflict, loyalties are tested, and the streets become filled with brutality. This is Birmingham is a hard-hitting and emotional thriller that explores themes of loyalty, survival, and the consequences of violence.
