Further details
Albert and Tash have invested the money from the gold in a dream restaurant and hotel business, whilst Sidney under the new alias 'Andrew' runs a bar on the beach. Meanwhile, Big Mick is in prison awaiting trial, very much enjoying the fame that follows now being officially associated with the biggest gold heist in history and Phil 'The Captain' Pocket is dead. In the shadows, frustrated Detectives Saunders and Thread, who are powerless to make arrests, have no choice but to go deep undercover in Spain to gather evidence on the whereabouts of the golden haul.
What becomes quickly evident is that Spain isn't all it's cracked up to be. The stakes are higher, the gangsters are scarier, and the vultures are beginning to circle. Behind the cocktails around the pool and the paradise façade the calamitous gang have very much got out of the frying pan and into the fire. The Curse takes hold in the Spanish heat and it's a guessing game who will get out alive.
