nineteen85

It's 1985, and it's grim up North. Thatcher's government may have beaten the miners and the IRA bombers, but unemployment and social unrest are rising. The city of Leeds and its once famous football club are in decline, with United struggling to escape the second division, watched by falling crowds in a decaying stadium plagued by Britain's most notorious hooligans.

But in adversity there lies opportunity for three men, thrown together by circumstance. A washed-up tabloid hack. A rising political star with a dark secret. A local crime boss who wants to own a football club. Three men trying to manage a situation that's rapidly spiralling out of control in an era of corruption, power and perversion.

One man's misfortune is another man's opportunity. Just don't forget that everyone is owned by someone.
