Sun's out, guns out.
Set amongst the beach clubs and palm trees of the Costa del Sol in the early 80s, A Town Called Malice follows the Lords, a crime family of petty thieves from South London, as they decamp from London to Spain to profit from an unexpected windfall – and to escape the attention of the police in a high-profile murder enquiry.
Gene Lord - youngest son of a South London criminal family - and his fearless fiancée, Cindy, are forced to flee 1980s London. On the Costa del Sol, Gene’s Uncle Tony has a get-rich plan, but dangerous enemies are circling: can Cindy and Gene survive?
Cindy leads Gene on a mission to evade police suspicion and reminds him of the potential in Tony’s land. But can they keep their dream secret from the Lords, who arrive in Spain and have questions they want answered?
Kelly does Mint Ma’s secret bidding back in London. Meanwhile, sparks fly when the Lords parlay with the local Gitano community in a bid to get their support for the hotel plans.
Gene and Cindy exercise their smarts to unify warring factions, but the arrival of a face from Cindy’s past creates tremors between them – can she hang on to the man she loves?
Gene’s mettle is tested during business negotiations in Morocco; Albert tests Mint Ma’s patience; and Cindy is forced to take drastic action to protect Eddie.
Cindy alienates Eddie to breaking point; Kelly loses control and Albert’s battle for power threatens to leave Gene’s dreams of a bright new future in tatters.
The Lords are at their lowest ebb, and the game might be up for Cindy. Meanwhile, Albert is back on the rise – but for how long?
Albert seems to be an unstoppable force, stopping short of nothing to reclaim his former glory – who dares stand in his way and curb his reign of terror?
