โฆ Synopsis
For the right man, all doors are open... Mike Mackenzie is a self-made
man with too much time on his hands and a bit of the devil in his soul.
He is looking for something to liven up the days and perhaps give new
meaning to his existence. A chance encounter at an art auction offers
him the opportunity to do just that as he settles on a plot to commit a
'perfect crime'. He intends to rip-off one of the most high-profile
targets in the capital - the National Gallery of Scotland. So, together
with two close friends from the art world, he devises a plan to a lift
some of the most valuable artwork around. But of course, the real trick
is to rob the place for all its worth whilst persuading the world that
no crime was ever committed. But soon after he enters the dark waters of
the criminal underworld he realises that it's very easy to drown...
