Fifty-something newspaper columnist, Frank Savage, pens a controversial piece calling for dogs and babies to be banned from cafés as his swansong to journalism. Instead of being dismissed, the column catapults him to stardomand into further trouble.
On a night out, Frank spots his arch-enemy, Brewster, 56an apparently reformed racist, homophobic football hooligan turned drug dealer, now a respected figure in the local communitywhom he blames for his brothers death.
This coincides with the arrival of his eldest daughter, Naomi, whom Frank hasnt seen for years. A genius with numbers, she works for an organised crime syndicate in London, headed by the Wise One, but is desperate to break free and go straight. The Syndicate places Naomi in the seaside town of Portobello, Edinburgh, to work alongside Brewster, overseeing their money laundering operation.
As Naomi and Frank grow closer and begin to heal old wounds, neither realises they are both hiding secrets that would devastate the other.
