About a couple of inventive orphaned fraudsters, Jez and Dylan, who attempt to scam wealthy corporations out of large amounts of money in order to buy the house of their dreams - a stately home! When they hire a temp, Georgie, to unwittingly help them in their scheme she soon smells a rat, but will she be able to use her feminine wiles to convince the petty criminals to use the money for a better cause?, Quirky British comedy about an inventive pair of fraudsters who attempt to scam wealthy corporations out of large amounts of money in order to buy the house of their dreams. They hire an unwitting temp to help them in their scheme, but she soon smells a rat. Can she use her feminine wiles to convince the petty criminals to use the money for a better cause?, As con men, Dylan and Jez are the perfect complimentary pair. An American with an uncanny feel for numbers, handsome Dylan (Dan Futterman) is the smooth talker, while the introverted, dweeby Brit Jez (Stuart Townsend) is a computer genius. Their latest scam involves a computer supposedly capable of recognizing voices. To help them, they hire pretty secretary Georgie (Kate Beckinsale). A highly intelligent medical student, Georgie quickly figures out her bosses' game, but she has trouble of her own because she is being forced to marry an idiotic aristocrat. It doesn't take long for her to befriend the two grifters. This fast-paced romantic comedy follows the sly exploits of the newly formed trio, who have a knack for extricating themselves from dangerous situations by the narrowest margins.
