Synopsis

What if you could control Luck?

Would that be the greatest power you could give a man? Or his worst nightmare?

Lucky Man is a bold, visually striking crime action thriller based on an idea by the legendary comic book writer Stan Lee.

BAFTA nominated actor James Nesbitt plays Detective Inspector Harry Clayton, a brilliant but troubled cop and a compulsive gambler who is in danger of losing the thing he values most; his family.

At the casino and approaching rock bottom Harry meets the beautiful and enigmatic Eve (Sienna Guillory) who gives him a mysterious bracelet said to endow the wearer with immense luck.

To his surprise this Lucky Charm seems to work and Harry sees his fortunes begin to shift. But this kind of luck comes with a price. The brutal murder of Soho casino boss Freddie Lau heralds a new criminal presence in Londons underworld. As a crime wave sweeps the city Harry unexpectedly finds himself right at its heart.

And if this wasnt enough - the bracelet was meant to go to someone else, and theyre coming after Harry.

Now with luck on his side Harry will pit himself against the dark forces circling, but will it be enough to save the city and his family?
