Tommy Lee Royce

Recently released from prison after serving eight years for drugs related offences, the quiet, shy and unassuming Tommy finds himself a job working for Ashley Cowgill, who develops property and runs a smart caravan site. Ashley is also a successful drugs dealer.

Through Ashley, Tommy becomes involved in the kidnap and abduction of Ann Gallagher, the daughter of local millionaire businessman Nevison Gallagher - an uneasy plan cooked up between Ashley and Nevison's employee Kevin Weatherill, who rents one of Ashley’s caravans as a weekend retreat for himself and his family.

Once Ann Gallagher has been abducted, Tommy becomes her guard, and reveals his true colours. Beneath the shy, occasionally charming exterior, Tommy is a psychopath. He comes from a tough, deprived background. Life has been unkind to him and he has a pathological mistrust of everyone. He is a dangerous human being who copes with life by taking control of everything and everyone around him.
