Spiv in. Brit. Slang. A person who makes a living by underhand dealings or swindling; black marketeer. An aristocrat among confidence men, Jack Pike (Ken Stott, King Arthur) uses his charm to pull off small, elegant swindles, aided by his right-hand-man Steve (Nick Moran, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) and slacker brother-in-law Goat (Dominic Monaghan, Lost, The Lord of the Rings). However, a truck con job with sexy rival Jenny (Kate Ashfield, Shaun of the Dead) unwittingly embroils them in the black market immigrant trade -- with two Albanian children now on their hands. It doesn't take long before the double- and triple-crosses pile up and cons and victims alike are scrambling for safety in an increasingly dangerous game where getting out alive is the only absolute truth.
