Set in the gritty streets of Glasgow, Scotland, Strictly Sinatra follows the life of Toni Cocozza (Ian Hart), a small-time crooner with big dreams of becoming the next Frank Sinatra. Despite his limited musical talent, Toni spends his nights singing in local clubs and bars, hoping to catch the attention of someone who can make his dreams a reality.

One night, Toni meets Irene (Kelly Macdonald), a beautiful and mysterious woman who seems to take an instant liking to him. With Irene's help, Toni finally gets his big break when he lands a gig singing at a high-end nightclub.

As Toni's star begins to rise, he quickly finds himself caught up in the dangerous world of organized crime. His new boss, Chisolm (Brian Cox), is a ruthless gangster who demands complete loyalty and obedience from his employees.
