Inspired by John Ibrahim's best-selling autobiography, this series is an operatic story of two brothers, Sam and John Ibrahim who organize the street but lose each other in their ascent to power. The story tracks John Ibrahim's rise from a poverty-stricken immigrant with no education, no money, and no prospects, to Australia's most infamous nightclub mogul in Sydney's Kings Cross — a mini-Atlantic City, barely half a mile long with every form of criminality on offer.
Episodes
Episode 1
Wide-eyed teen John Ibrahim is eager to emulate his older brother Sam, a legendary enforcer in Kings Cross. He follows his brother into the most exotic red-light district — a jungle with no laws, but rigid rules and hierarchy.
Episode 2
As John recovers from his stabbing, he begins to turn his dreams of being a nightclub owner into a reality — but as he is drawn deeper into the shadows of Kings Cross, it becomes chillingly clear that no favours come for free.

As the war between John and Fat George escalates, the introduction of cocaine begins to imbalance the delicate ecosystem of Kings Cross.

As the fallout from the Royal Commission and Ezra and Tien's partnership brings a new world order to Kings Cross, the Ibrahim brothers have two starkly different views on where they fit in the jungle.
