- Synopsis:
A darkly comic thriller exploring the rapid rise off a modern fraudster, and the strength two women find to take on a conman at his own game. Alice (Rebekah Staton) is a formidable, though underestimated, PA who lives in a cramped bungalow with her entire family. Cheryl (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) is a bestselling author, who lives alone in a sprawling mansion, and Dr. Robert Chance (Alistair Petrie) is a celebrated ecopreneur, who has apparently fallen for her. Or has he? Actually, Rob is a sociopathic conman who cheated Alice out of everything she had, and is about to do the same thing to his new mark. For Alice, this is a chance for justice - but how far will she go to convince Cheryl of the truth? - Actors:
