Based on JJ Connolly's London crime novel, Layer Cake is about a successful, nameless cocaine dealer (Daniel Craig) who has earned a respected place among England's Mafia elite and plans an early retirement from the business. However, big boss Jimmy Price (Kenneth Cranham) hands down a tough assignment: find Charlotte Ryder, the missing rich princess of Jimmy's old pal Edward (Michael Gambon), a powerful construction business player and socialite.  Complicating matters are two million pounds worth of Grade A ecstasy, a brutal Neo-Nazi sect, and a whole series of double crossings.  

The title Layer Cake refers to the layers or levels the dealer has to go through as he painstakingly plots his own escape. What is revealed is a modern underworld where the rules have changed. Not knowing whom he can trust, he has to use all his savvy to get out alive. The ultimate last job, a love interest called Tammy (Sienna Miller) and an international drugs ring, threaten to draw him back into the 'cake mix.' But, time is running out and the penalty will endure a lifetime...
