Strange alliances are forming and betrayal lurks around every corner; though the family are London's elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what tomorrow brings." The story was believed to center on the character exploring the rise and formation of Ray Donovan's criminal organization. Guy Ritchie was brought on as director and executive producer.
