In the shadowy world of London's hyper-competitive property market, a new thriller exposes the brutal reality behind the glossy brochures and polished presentations. 'Odyssey', the latest cinematic offering from acclaimed director Michael Mann, plunges viewers into the cocaine-fuelled chaos of estate agency life where mental collapse is just another business expense.
A Descent into London's Property Underworld
