À Londres, le truand de haut vol Waldo Zhernikov, associé à son collègue Harry Foulcher, s'active à professionnaliser l'industrie du racket dans Soho en montant un « syndicat du crime » fédérant de gré ou de force les gangs en place. Zhernikov embauche pour ce faire Paddy Damion, jusque-là simple cambrioleur mais connu pour son sang-froid et son habileté, comme tel susceptible de ne pas attirer l'attention de la police. Mais un conflit sanglant s'élève entre les commanditaires de Paddy et un de ses amis personnels. L'heure va être à la trahison, au meurtre, à la vengeance.
