Gloss

Gloss is a modelling agency owned by Burton Phillips. The company was founded in 2000 and was located above Attraction, a bar also owned by Burton. Burton ended up hiring Tank Top, Kay Price, Polly Clarke, Precious and Troy. Precious ended up recruiting Lisa Hunter, and Burton also hired Tank Top's friend and Lisa's boyfriend, Ben Davies.
Kay went missing in August 2006, with her body being found by binmen in September, and the killer was never captured. Kay's brother, Mickey, convinced that Burton was behind Kay's death, broke into Gloss to steal her file. He managed to get away, but Burton was aware that Mickey was the one who stole the file and ordered Ben and Tank Top to get it back, secretly giving Tank Top a gun. Tank Top managed to retrieve the file, only using the gun to scare Mickey, to Ben's horror as he believed that Tank Top was going to shoot Mickey. However, the pair later found Mickey dead after being tasked to torch a disused warehouse, and Burton later told Ben that Thommo had shot him.
Burton tricked and emotionally blackmailed Troy into appearing in pornography, under the pretence that the film would not be able to be seen publicly. However, Troy's family back in Australia discovered the video and disowned him, and Troy angrily confronted Burton, attacking him and pushing him through his office window.
Burton tried to find investors for his casino, but Stella Grey offered him £500,000 for Attraction. Stella also managed to hire Lisa, who gave up working for Burton after they fell out. Lisa was later kidnapped by a group of men who attempted to force her into appearing in pornography - the same events that happened to Kay as later revealed by Burton. Stella gave her a chance to escape and she managed to get a gun, threatening to shoot them. Ben burst through the doors, attempting to save Lisa, but was accidentally shot, fatally. At the same time, Polly took a fatal overdose after her "sister", Debbie Clarke, discovered that she and Polly were not biologically related, and left Polly to live with her mother.
