'Geordie Cartwright has disappeared, along with Bobby Mahoney's money. I have to find him and fast, or it's going to be my face staring into the business end of a nail gun.'
David Blake is no gangster, or so he likes to think. He's a white-collar criminal, working for boss Bobby Mahoney, enjoying the good life while the money pours in.
Trouble is, a big chunk of that money has gone missing, along with Geordie Cartwright, and Blake is getting the blame.
Has Geordie fled with The Drop or has he been killed by rivals? As Blake dives into the Newcastle underworld, a seedy, violent place filled with dodgy clubs, pubs, strip joints and brothels, he starts to uncover the truth.
Meanwhile the police are closing in on Bobby. It's just a matter of time before he's nicked for good. Blake must discover the truth before it's too late for them all.
If that were not enough, he has to choose between his girlfriend, the beautiful lawyer Laura, and the irresistible Sarah, his boss's gorgeous daughter. Sarah might just be the most dangerous person in his life right now, if Bobby finds out.
In a desperate and bloody finale, Blake has to make an agonising choice and someone pays the ultimate price in The Drop.
