Bob calls 21st century London home. A born and bred Londoner. Bob's personal world begins and ends with the notorious London gang he's a member of - the Wild Bunch.
Bob's skills are predominantly used for driving (both casual and getaway) as he knows his way around a car and the streets of London, and is additional bulk when things turn aggressive.
After a property deal goes wrong for two of his gang, they find themselves in the precarious position of owing money to Lenny (a London property kingpin with a London councillor bribed). At first they exclude Bob (presumably as he is currently awaiting his day in court with a potential 5-year sentence if he's found guilty) from a job which will earn them enough cash to pay Lenny off. Bob talks about the fact that the reason he's on trial is because there's a ‘grass' informing the police of criminal activities in London. When Archy (Lenny's right-hand man) comes to collect the money, Bob is keeping out of trouble by playing cards with some of the gang.
On Bob's last night before his day in court - and potentially going to prison for 5-years - his best mate One Two takes him out to cheer him up. In the car on the way to their destination, Bob is visibly concerned, nervous and down-hearted at the prospect and his usual bright and cheeky demeanour is more subdued. One Two has lined up what he sees as a fitting last night for his best mate - drugs, drinks and prostitutes. Bob, visibly struggling with the choice of telling the truth about what he wants for his last night or to face going to prison without saying anything, tells One Two he “wouldn't understand” he eventually fesses up (with some quiet words of encouragement) that rather than strippers, he wants One Two.
One Two slams the brakes on and gets out of the car, and after some very public verbal abuse from his best friend, including homophobic slurs, Bob attempts to remind One Two that he warned him he wouldn't understand and in this moment can't help but be visibly disappointed at the outcome. After a diatribe from One Two about how he's known all of Bob's girlfriends, that he's a ‘ladykiller', that he's ‘Handsome Bob', Bob finally snaps back and comes to the conclusion that he should have kept his mouth shut and, with head in hands, realises that he's really messed up by being honest about who he really is. Crying and apologising repeatedly, Bob takes One Two's words on board and realises he shouldn't have said anything. Eventually One Two apologies and Bob confesses he doesn't know if he'll be able to handle five years in prison, and in response, One Two finally feels sorry enough for Bob that he relents and asks what exactly it is that Bob wants to do to him.
The next day, the prosecution lose the paperwork for Bob's case and the trial is quashed, meaning no prison time for Bob. He's elated and excited about the fact that he won't be incarcerated and surprises One Two in the gang's clubhouse by sneaking up behind him. He looks confused by One Two's clearly unhappy reaction promoting the idea that something happened between them the night before.
That night, at a party the gang attends to supply drugs, Bob is already enjoying himself when One Two sees him and makes sure Bob understands that what happened between them has to stay a secret. Bob looks amused more than anything, clearly still happy he's not in prison. Later, Bob acts offended when Mumbles asks him to chat up a gay lawyer to get information about the informer who was the likely source of information that resulted in Bob's court date. Agreeing, wanting to know who the informer is, he flirts with the lawyer, asking him for the informer's depositions so that the gang can identify him. He puts his number into the lawyer's phone and promises to go for a drink with him as long as he gets the paperwork.
Mumbles and One Two pull another job (stealing another 2 briefcases of money from the same Russian billionaire) without Bob which goes south quickly. Bob arrives midway through, saving One Two from being strangled by the armed guards that were transporting the briefcase and pulls out a gun when the gang are confronted by some local builders. Having brought a car, he acts as getaway driver and the gang make off with the money again. With Bob driving and the gang thinking they've got away with it, one of the armed guards lands on the roof of the car which Bob then crashes into another car. When they realise the armed guard is more than capable of killing all of them, they abandon the car with Bob making off with one of the briefcases of money as they all run in separate directions. He runs into a couple of policemen who realise he's up to something and is then chased over a fence and through back alleys. Eventually Bob meets back up with Mumbles who has stolen a moped and they make off with the money.
Bob eventually gets a call from the gay lawyer to follow up on when they can have that drink. He asks where the documents that he needs are and the lawyer promises to leave them at the reception of his office under Bob's name. He and Mumbles pick up the documents and try to work out who the informer is based on the name in the paperwork. After a quick call to One Two, they realise the name is a pseudonym and agree to meet One Two at his flat so they can try to work it out together.
After Bob arrives, One Two has been taken captive by Lenny's right-hand man Archy and him and Mumbles are similarly subdued and taken too. They find themselves at an abandoned warehouse, Lenny having discovered that they are responsible for stealing money from the Russian billionaire that was intended for him and wanting them to suffer for it. With the documents still safely stashed inside his jacket but his hands tied, Bob shouts out to get Archy's attention to tell him they have the identity of the informer. It's this that ultimately leads to them all discovering that Lenny is the informer, and the gang are all set free and escape.
