Ronald Cardigan has scores to settle. Someone is pissing him off, and his heavies will have to go and sort him out.

Jonathan Pembrooke finds himself married to someone he can't stand, but if he backs out of the deal, Cardigan will kill him. He embarks on an affair, and the mother of the woman he's seeing has an agenda involving Cardigan's daughter... Debbie runs The Angel and the 'massage parlour' behind it. She's under Cardigan's protection as his woman, so when someone comes along being rude to Shirley, one of the brothel girls, Debbie's first instinct is to get him sorted. When things get out of hand and she's faced with a shocking sight, she can't keep quiet any longer. Poison pen letters, crime, people being given second smiles. Life on The Cardigan Estate isn't pretty.
