Plot
Set in the eccentric London art world, the film's protagonist Nick Edwards (Rhys) owes £50,000 to the smooth and brutal crime lord Foster Wright (Malik) and has four days to find the cash. Nick knows nothing about working a heist of that size, but when he stumbles across a lost sketch by the legendary Italian artist Antonio Fraccini, he hatches a plan with the help of cynical Eve (Ashfield) and her extremely talented yet naïve artist brother Tony (Chambers): to forge the drawing and sell it to five Mayfair galleries within an hour before anyone catches onto the scam.
