Inspired by an industrious fraudster, and the group of victims who eventually decided they had had enough of him, the charming and cultured Hamish sets his sights on Bec, a recently divorced single mother with three sons and access to a significant family trust. When Bec notices gaps in his story and some odd behaviour, what starts as private unease widens into something far larger: a pattern of deception spanning continents and suspected of leaving more than $70 million in its wake.
