Rough Cut

Rhodes, a wealthy American living in London, attends a high-society party. There he meets Gillian Bromley, an alluring woman who is secretly a thief. The encounter plants the seed for a complicated relationship.

Rhodes witnesses Gillian slipping away with diamond jewelry in the house during the party, demonstrating her skill and nerve. The theft is observed from a distance, leaving Rhodes both impressed and wary. The intrigue between them deepens as a result.

Gillian hides in Jack's apartment after the theft. The close proximity and shared danger draw them toward each other, and a fragile romance begins to emerge. The line between hunter and hunted becomes blurred as trust grows.

Gillian confesses that she steals for the thrill rather than need. She also demonstrates her high-speed driving skills, showing that she could be a valuable ally for a risky job. The confession complicates Jack's feelings and his assessment of her reliability.

Chief Inspector Willis, a veteran Scotland Yard detective, coaxes Gillian into feeding Jack information about high-value diamonds. His aim is to bait Jack into stealing the shipment and trap him in the act. Gillian's position becomes a political tool in the game between thief and hunter.

Willis uses Gillian to pass details of an uncut-diamond shipment traveling from London to Antwerp. The plan is engineered to lure Jack into a perfect moment for capture. It sets the trap that will spark the ensuing clash of loyalties.

Jack recognizes that Gillian's story about her informant is a setup. He exposes her, uncovering Willis's manipulation behind the information feed. The trust between the two becomes strained as the truth comes out.

Gillian breaks silence and tells Jack about Willis and his scheme to bait him with the shipment. This revelation shifts the power dynamic and makes Jack question who is truly manipulating whom. It also strengthens his resolve to make the heist work his way.

Despite the setup, Jack decides to go ahead with the heist and assembles a crew. He rejects the initial getaway mercenary in Amsterdam and brings Gillian into the role as the replacement driver. The team begins to take shape for the bold plan.

On the eve of the robbery, Jack confesses his love for Gillian. The admission deepens their complicated relationship even as the plan looms. Trust remains fragile as the crew prepares for the high-stakes theft.

The robbery goes ahead as planned, with the private jet carrying the diamonds diverted to Amsterdam. Jack and Gillian intercept the shipment and make a fast escape in a high-speed car chase. Willis monitors events from Antwerp and watches the trap unfold.

Willis travels to Antwerp only to discover that a duplicate plane delivered a package of worthless quartz, not the real diamonds. He retires in disgrace as the ruse’s cover is blown. The plan’s next phase hinges on who controls the real diamonds now.

Jack and Gillian celebrate their supposed success aboard a yacht. Jack reveals that the Amsterdam shipment turned out to be quartz, swapped by Willis. Willis then joins them to negotiate the sale of the diamonds, adding another layer of deception to the deal.

Jack reveals that he and Willis had been conspiring together from the start, using Gillian as the intermediary. The deception is exposed, but it leaves Gillian with the sense that she helped orchestrate a larger game. The trio’s fate becomes a precarious balance of trust and betrayal.
