Synopsis:
Growing up in Glasgow's notorious Gorbals area, gripped by a pre-destined life of crime and corruption, Jimmy Boyle earned his hardman reputation. Life was tough, but about to get tougher.

Inside, the infamous gangster takes out his rage in more ways than one... but is to undergo a remarkable metamorphosis. David Hayman stars in this shocking true story of Boyle's incredible journey - his violent upbringing, incarceration for a crime he didn't commit, and eventual turnaround.
