GBH, brief for Grievous Bodily Damage, can be an unnerving tale of paranoia and madness in the center of the 1970s London criminal underworld. Two intertwining narratives - past and present - chronicle the man's tragic semester from vitality. In London, Fowler resides at the top of a rewarding criminal syndicate that specializes in the creation and circulation of "blue videos" - unlawful pornography plus some nasty products. Fowler is king, with a beautiful woman at his side and a swanky penthouse office atop a high-rise, but his planet is in jeopardy. Someone is undermining his empire from within, and Fowler becomes ever more ruthless in his quest for the mysterious traitor. As his paranoia envelops him, Fowler manages to lose trust in just about everyone, including his closest friends and associates, and commences to rely on the opinions of an extremely smaller group of advisors. Juxtaposed with the terror and violence of Fowler's last days in London is the flash-forward narrative of his hideout bunker in a tiny British beach town, where Fowler skulks through the off-season on the list of locals, trying to construct the bits of his fallen empire. Equally as it seems possible for Fowler to reclaim his throne, another trigger threatens to cause his total, irreparable unraveling.
