MobLand season 1 brings a world of crime and mysteries to the audience through the London-based family of the Harrigans. Known for their dominance in the crime scene, the heads of the family, Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and Maeve (Helen Mirren), play the central role in controlling the crimes committed by the family. They also seek help of the fixer, Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy), to solve all the challenges they encounter.

The series began in March 2025 and, till now, has covered the conflicts between Harrigans and Stevensons. Kevin Conrad's child, Eddie, murders his friend Tommy, the son of the crime gang leader named Richie Stevenson (Geoffe Belle). Tensions escalate between the families as Richie attempts to seek revenge for his son's murders and the Harrigans try to maintain their position in the field.

While plenty of Harrigan's deeds are looked after by Harry, the viewers get to see another vital character in the background who enjoys the trust of the family heads. Paul, a member of Harrigan's security team, is introduced in the show as a trusted henchman of Maeve and Conrad. Emmett J. Scanlan plays the role of Paul in MobLand season 1.

When Conrad and Maeve doubt Harry after the police receive an anonymous tip about Archie's dead body, Paul is also tasked to follow Harry's wife, Jan (Joanne Froggatt). He gives direct reports of the task to Conrad, who later goes to Jan himself to threaten her against disclosing any of Harry's or the Harrigans' secrets to others.

Enraged by the insult, Maeve decides to take revenge and plans for Vron's killing. While Harry is their official fixer in cases of such issues, Maeve takes it into her hands and calls Paul to execute the plan.

Paul plants a bomb in Vron's car. As she prepares to leave for shopping to cope with her son's demise, the car flares up immediately, killing her on the spot. The viewers get a glimpse of her car all covered in flames. This also indicates Paul's loyalty to the Harrigans in MobLand season 1 as he commits the most personal and vengeful tasks for the family.
