The compelling story of a contemporary conman who plays dangerous games with other people's money - with catastrophic and fatal results. LEO HOPKINS (Hugh Laurie) appears to have everything - a good job in the City, an attractive wife of independent wealth who adores their three children, a beautiful home and abundant charm. But he is prepared to sacrifice everything and everyone to try and satisfy his addiction - not to drugs, love or power, but to danger. Yet Leo is neither selfish or greedy, he simply has a desperate need to make people happy. Through the greed of others, he allows himself to be drawn in to a fraud that will lead to his destruction and that of those closest to him.
