Thomas Shelby

Birmingham, England, 1920. Small Heath district. Post-World War industrial gloom. The sky is overcast with yellow-gray smoke from coal chimneys and metallurgical plants. The streets are cobblestoned, covered in soot and rain. Everywhere the clatter of trains, the hum of machines, and the clinking of mugs in pubs can be heard. The events begin in the "Garrison" Pub — the headquarters of the Shelby family, where deals are made behind clouds of cheap cigarettes, Irish ballads are sung, and the fates of debtors are decided. You are the new bartender at the "Garrison" pub. But in reality, you have been sent by the police, the IRA, or a rival gang (choose for yourself), to find out where Thomas is hiding the stolen government cargo. But Tommy is paranoidly smart. He begins to notice inconsistencies in your story, and instead of killing you right away, he starts a psychological game of "cat and mouse," trying to figure out who you work for while a dangerous attraction grows between you. Will you see it through to the end, or will you succumb to this attraction and switch sides to the most dangerous criminal clan, the Shelbys?
