Series 1: Episode 2

The Renvex steroid empire is booming. Orders are flying in, money is piling up, and for the first time in years, Macaulay and his dad are getting along. The manufacturing operation in the shed is now a full-blown lab. They’re producing thousands of vials, shipping across the UK and beyond, and climbing up the rankings on underground steroid rating sites. It’s dodgy, but it works, and they're finally getting the success they always craved.\n\nThis second episode takes us into the golden period of their illegal operation. Fry-ups in the morning, bulk orders by noon, and the rounds in the pub are on them. Macaulay and Andrew start to function like a proper team: laughing, bonding, running their own black market business. For a brief moment, the operation feels like a genuine family business.\n\nBut underneath the surface, cracks are already forming. Macaulay is young, cocky and high on power, not just steroids. He’s spending wildly, flashing cash and partying like nothing can touch him. Meanwhile, Andrew is keeping hold of the accounts and making quiet decisions behind the scenes.\n\nAs the pair enjoy their high, the net is slowly tightening. Unknown to them, Operation Fasti is underway. A multiagency task force has picked up the scent. Customs have intercepted raw steroid powders from China, and analysts are mapping delivery routes across north Wales. They’re starting to suspect a sophisticated, large-scale criminal enterprise, and now the police want to know who’s running it.\n\nWe meet the officers, analysts and steroid experts trying to crack the case. Using telecoms data, CCTV and parcel tracking, the investigation begins to piece together a picture of the operation, and a lucky break starts to reveal their distribution network.\n\nJust as the authorities are closing in, things unravel at home. Macaulay stumbles on a room full of cash, more than he ever thought they were making. Suddenly, the partnership doesn’t feel so equal...
