Nowhere to Go

A confident Canadian con man operating in London, Gregory targets a wealthy Canadian woman with a carefully staged scheme to gain control of her coin collection. He uses charm and calculation to win her trust, planning a long game that includes a staged legal transfer and a safe deposit stash. His primary aim is to secure a large payout after an extended run of deceit, showing little regard for the consequences or the people he exploits.

An disillusioned ex-débutante and niece of a chief constable, Bridget is drawn into Gregory's world but remains morally conflicted. She drives Gregory to a remote cottage, offering help while wrestling with her own disillusionment and the risk of becoming complicit. Her interactions reveal a tension between curiosity, sympathy, and a desire to escape a stagnant social life.

An associate who helps Gregory plan the escape, Sloane embodies greed and a ruthless code among criminals. His demand for all the money after the failed heist heightens the danger, and his accidental death from choking on Gregory's gag escalates the plot's tension. He becomes a casualty of a system built on loyalty yet unforgiving of errors.

A diligent inspector involved in the pursuit of Gregory, Scott represents authority and the law pursuing a seasoned con artist. He coordinates with others to track the elusive thief while navigating the politics and pressures of a high-profile case. His role highlights the cat-and-mouse dynamic between criminal cunning and legal investigation.
