As the English-raised son of Russian exiles with a mafia history, Alex (James Norton) has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of that criminal past, building his own legitimate business and forging a life with his girlfriend Rebecca (Juliet Rylance). What starts out as a story of survival and revenge becomes an epic tale of a man’s struggle against the lures of corruption in the modern world and in himself.
Based on Misha Glenny's book of the same name, McMafia is impressive and intimate, glamorous and gritty, global in scale and forensic in detail.
