Plot Summary
Victor is the most respected assassin in the country and also the most expensive. He is the doyen of killers, carrying on the family business established by his grandfather. The problem is that it’s not a job where you tend to meet the right girl – and so his domineering mother who has recently gone to live in a Home is increasingly worried that he’s not going to get an heir to carry on the family business. She nags him about it; and has even taken up knitting, just in case. By contrast, Rose is a free spirit, a gleeful, joyous thief, who has come up with the ultimate con. She borrows a Rembrandt a real Rembrandt and gets a copy of it as well. She meets Ferguson, an art-loving gangster who is determined to buy the painting, and, after he’s had it authenticated, she performs a switch – leaving him with the fake. By the time he realizes, she’s gone – and Ferguson has only one course of action. He calls Victor.
