Summary
: 
Reggie and Ronnie Kray ruled London’s gangland during the 60s with a ruthlessness and viciousness that shocks even now. Building an empire of organised crime that has never been matched, the brothers swindled, extorted and terrorised--while enjoying a glittering celebrity status at the heart of the swinging 60s scene, until their downfall and imprisonment for life.
