London, 1938. In the unforgiving shadows of post-prison life, Danny Beck craves an escape from the squalor and drudgery he's known. When fortune smiles upon him in the form of Phoebe Merrill, a beguiling beauty with a wealthy father in need of a driver, Danny believes he's found his ticket to a better kind of life. An offer of employment at the Merrill's country home seems the ideal setting to seduce Phoebe and secure Danny's newfound life of luxury. Yet, the girl with the face of an angel soon proves she's not the pushover Danny believed her to be. Before she submits, Phoebe asks a favour of Danny that shocks him to his core. Refusing will mean he loses everything: the girl, the money, the life he craves. But agreeing may put his head in the hangman's noose.
