Based upon JJ Connelly's London crime novel,
"LAYER CAKE is about a successful cocaine dealer
(DANIEL CRAIG) who has earned a respected place
among England's Mafia elite and plans an early
retirement from the business. However, big boss
Jimmy Price hands down a tough assignment: find
Charlotte Ryder, the missing rich princess
daughter of Jimmy's old pal Edward, a powerful
construction business player and gossip papers
socialite. Complicating matters are two million
pounds' worth of Grade A ecstasy, a brutal neo-
Nazi sect and a whole series of double crossings.
The title "LAYER CAKE refers to the layers or
levels the dealer has to go through as he
painstakingly plots his own escape. What is
revealed is a modern underworld where the rules
have changed. There are no 'codes', or 'families'
and respect lasts as long as a line. Not knowing
who he can trust, he has to use all his 'savvy',
'telling' and skills which make him one of the
best, to escape his own. The ultimate last job, a
love interest called Tammy and an international
drugs ring, threaten to draw him back into the
'cake mix'. But, time is running out and the
penalty will endure a lifetime..
