Synopsis
This is the 'real' story of the mad & crazy 1960s in 'swinging' London, England as seen through the eyes of two New Scotland Yard Detectives DI Spearing and DS Devlin and an assassin, feared by the London underworld, known simply as 'The Fox.'Drugs and booze flow like rivers resulting in depravity and corruption from the highest levels in the UK establishment down to the common working man.
For some the 1960's were their halcyon days, but for so many others it was the start of a fall into depravity and those were the lucky ones who survived!
