Underbelly: The Golden Mile is a story of Sydney King's Cross, the corruption of cops, the fall of an old king George Freeman (Peter O'Brien), and the rise of a new one John Ibrahim, aka King of the Cross, aka Teflon John. John Ibrahim (Firass Dirani) has grand plans and steely determination. Both of which are needed to survive a single night in the Seedy King's Cross. To survive a lifetime, well that's a whole new ballgame.
