In the newly released trailer, viewers are introduced to Hezekiah Moscow (Malachi Kirby) and Alec Munroe (Francis Lovehall), two best friends on the run from Jamaica. Hezekiah finds himself thrust into the perilous and illegal boxing scene of "the lion's den," aka 1880s Victorian London, where "you learn to fight" to survive.
Soon, his success attracts the likes of Mary Carr (Erin Doherty), Queen of the Forty Elephants, "the biggest gang of female thieves in the whole of London," as well as Sugar Goodson (Stephen Graham), the "self-declared emperor of the East End boxing world," who is determined to take Hezekiah down.
