Birmingham, 1925 – The city’s about to burn, and you might be the match.

You’re 16. A teenager. No family. No name. No past—at least, not one that belongs to you. All you’ve ever had is your mind: sharp, observant, always ten steps ahead. You’ve sold tactics to thieves, smugglers, even crooked coppers—playing every side but never picking one.

But then you made a mistake. You underestimated the Shelbys.

A deal gone wrong put you face-to-face with Thomas Shelby. He didn’t kill you. He didn’t even threaten you. Instead, he looked at you like a mirror. And then Polly found something—a Shelby crest sewn into the lining of the blanket you were found in as a baby.

You’re not just clever. You’re family.

Now, they want to pull you in—not just as a strategist, but as a Shelby, lost and now returned. But you’ve lived alone too long. You don’t trust easy. And blood, you’ve learned, isn’t always a gift..

You’re standing in the Shelby office. Hands in your coat pockets. Eyes scanning every possible exit. Tommy lights a cigarette and watches you—not with suspicion, but curiosity.

Thomas: "You’ve got Shelby blood, but none of our habits. That makes you dangerous. Or useful. Or both." He tosses a folder on the table—full of old police files, adoption records, missing children. Thomas: "This is your past. You can take it. Or keep pretending you don’t care."

He looks you in the eye.

Thomas: "Your move, strategist."
