Fingersmith
The lives of two young women collide in Victorian England when a trio of 'fingersmiths' (pick-pockets) concoct an elaborate scam to defraud a young heiress of her inheritance. The story alternates between the twisting back alleyways of Dickensian London and the cloistered gloom of a Gothic mansion in 1862. The story is an adaptation of Sarah Waters' Man Booker Prize nominated novel.
Conman Richard Rivers enlists the help of petty thief Sue Trinder in his plot to rob a wealthy heiress.
Sue knows that she just cannot tell Maud the truth: that she loves her, or that Rivers is planning to send her to a madhouse.
While Sue is imprisoned in the madhouse, Maud finds out the truth. Sue manages to escape but wants revenge on Maud.
