Mahmood Matan is a familiar figure in Tiger Bay in Cardiff, which in 1952 is filled with sailors from Somalia and the West Indies, Maltese entrepreneurs, and Jews.
He is a father, opportunist, and sometimes a thief. He is many things, but not a murderer. So when the owner of a shop is brutally murdered and all eyes turn to him, he isn’t too worried.
It’s true that he gets into trouble more often since his wife Laura left him. But Mahmood is innocent, and therefore he is sure that he is not in danger in a country where there is justice.
However, as he is brought to trial, Mahmood realizes the terrifying truth, that he is fighting not only for his freedom but also for his life, against conspiracies, prejudices, and the inhumanity of the state.
And as the shadow of the gallows looms over him, he understands that the truth alone is not enough to save him...
