Most people dream of getting rich quick and fantasise about how they'd enjoy spending their windfall. In general they hope for lady luck to bless them; they entertain ideas of winning the lottery or inheriting millions from some distant, unknown relative for instance.
A young couple from London, Bernie and Rachel, are no exception to this rule, but they don't intend to wait for good fortune to come their way. They have a plan, what they believe is an almost foolproof way to make their money and retire. They're going to burgle the homes of affluent people whilst they know they're away on holiday.
Rachel provides the information from Heathrow airport where she works and selects potential targets, getting their addresses from luggage labels and making sure they board the plane and leave.
Her partner Bernie is a locksmith who can open almost anything and is also well-versed in alarm systems and safe cracking.
Suspense, action, drama and romance unfold as they embark on a series of robberies, a calculated gamble which they hope will finish with them retiring soon to live a life of opulence and luxury.
