Clive Owen plays Stephen Crane, a young con-man out to make his fortune in Thatcher's Britain. Crane is offered a job by an old acquaintance to help an ailing car company and embezzles money from the bank where he works to fund it. At the same time Crane is trying to keep one step ahead of a shady past that threatens to catch up with him.
In the second series, after his release from prison, Crane returns to his real name of Derek Love, but finds that trouble is still following him around in the form of a protracted custody battle. His wheeler-dealing instincts are then relied upon to help out a struggling business - this time it's old rival Piers Garfield Ward (Simon Shepherd)'s country estate.
