Two suicidal strangers, failing actor Owen and traumatised Ukrainian refugee Becky, postpone death on the Humber bridge to honey-trap married men. They make easy money until they reach Manchester when a corrupt civil servant dies on Becky in a hotel room. Owen steals the dead man’s identity to con a small fortune from a brain-damaged hero’s trust fund. His impersonation is good, but doesn’t fool a cynical cop or the deceased’s self-harming granddaughter. As their blackmail scam spirals out of control, Owen and Becky must confront their own personal demons or risk drowning in a sea of corruption and criminality.
