Description
A tale of romance and deception. A young English petty thief, Archie, cons a French belle, Candice, and her well off uncle. The proceeds of his crime include an expensive Faberge ring, auctioned in Geneva, with no provenance. He leaves a trail of lies and deception. Archie ducks and dives in Paris and Turkey, before being trapped and brought to justice. But, he has guilt and remorse. Candice thinks she may love him. Archie is a torn soul who grapples with philosophical pain and anguish. Can he come to terms with his distorted view of life and twisted values?
