In the hidden corners of a city that thrives on deception, Lucas finds himself ensnared in a realm of trickery and hopelessness. Under the guidance of the astute Vivian, a woman thirty years older than him, he has mastered the skills of manipulation and thievery, living under the guise of a polished con artist. Beneath his frosty demeanour lies a heart scarred by betrayal and anguish, haunted by the memories of being abandoned and yearning for liberation.
The arrival of Ellie, a kind-hearted and innocent young woman who becomes their new maid, disrupts the delicate balance Lucas has fought to maintain. Unwittingly, she brings a spark of light into the darkness of his life, challenging the protective barrier he has constructed around himself. However, as Lucas grapples with his intensifying emotions for Ellie, Vivian's grip becomes more oppressive, blurring the lines between fidelity and longing, drawing Lucas deeper into a world he yearns to escape.
In this narrative of love, manipulation, and the struggle for self-determination, Lucas must face the ghosts of his past and evaluate the sacrifices he is prepared to make for his freedom. As tensions escalate and allegiances are put to the test, the lingering question persists: Can love prevail in a game where deception reigns supreme?
