"Albion" is a modern-day reimagining of the 1976 independent cult classic "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" by John Cassavetes that starred Frank Gazzata. It takes place in London and it is a character study of a flawed dreamer wanting to live by his own rules in an increasingly hostile and unforgiving environment.
