L'Homme d'argile (2023)

Seven very different strangers begin their community payback sentences, renovating a derelict building in Bristol. But can any of these ‘outlaws’ really reform?

The outlaws find a bag of cash, clearly the proceeds of crime. But who does it belong to?

The outlaws find themselves in choppy waters. A campaigner is rejected by the very cause to which she dedicated her life, and a decision is made about the outlaw’s sudden windfall.

A lifelong scoundrel reflects on his past mistakes, the police recruit a surprising new deputy, and a young woman makes a decision which could endanger the lives of all of the outlaws. Can the outlaws launder their dirty money before the gangsters track them down?

The outlaws must hustle on two fronts — with a captain of industry, and a member of the landed gentry. An audacious break-in is planned, and an imposter is heartbreakingly exposed.

Even with redemption seemingly in reach, the outlaws find their time running out, and the net closing around them. They face a stark choice — die apart, or survive together?
