The Limey follows Wilson, a tough English ex-con, who travels to Los Angeles to avenge his daughter′s death. As he mounts his design for vengeance, he allies himself with two friends of his deceased daughter, Ed and Elaine, who fill him in on their area of the cliff-bound countryside and act as his guardian angels while this powerful 60-ish man knocks off some of the toughest characters who are into the state′s opulent drug culture. Upon arrival, Wilson goes to task battling Valentine, a man whose income allegedly comes from his success as a producer of rock-and-roll records during the mid-sixties but whose major income actually comes from criminals who use him to launder their drug money, and an army of L.A.′s toughest criminals, hoping to find clues and piece together what happened. After surviving a near-death beating, getting thrown from a building and being chased down a dangerous mountain road, the Englishman decides to dole out some bodily harm of his own; and before his trip is through, all of Los Angeles will know that the Limey is in town.
