Auschwitz survivor becomes London's most ruthless landlord — redemption or revenge?
After surviving Auschwitz, Peter Singer arrives in London as a penniless refugee. Determined to cling to life, he erases his past and reinvents himself. Gradually, he succeeds in building a thriving real estate empire, captivates women with his charm, and gains entry to the upper echelons of British high society. But when is exposed as having clawed his way to the top by exploiting his tenants and trampling over them, the empire he built finds itself in grave jeopardy.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Avi Termin plays eight different roles including a Kapo and an immigration officer, mirroring how Singer sees all authority figures as interchangeable obstacles.
The real estate empire mirrors actual postwar Jewish refugee success stories in London, but Kamchi deliberately inverts the 'triumph over adversity' narrative into something far more corrosive.
