S1, E1: Tony's story begins in the mid ‘90s in a pizza bar in the suburbs of Melbourne where he is pursuing the twin but at times conflicting dreams of becoming a restaurant and property tycoon and building a drug empire. Somehow managing to maintain an uneasy truce with Melbourne’s criminal royalty, the Carlton Crew, and with the help of a few bent cops, his rise is irresistible. But his friendship with fellow drug dealer and sworn enemy of the Carlton Crew, Carl Williams, jeopardises it all. And when the Drug Squad turns his right-hand man Billy Fischer against him, Tony looks to be living on borrowed time.
