From the docks of St Malo, through the city streets of England, to the stunning Italian countryside, this fast-moving adventure sees a love affair start, against all odds, in the middle of an international manhunt by two competing groups of gangsters.
For Luigi Legrand, a charming quick-witted pickpocket, the dream of getting rich quick is shattered when his first day working on the St Malo docks ends in total disaster. Forced to go on the run from French gangsters, he relies on cunning and more than a little luck to evade them, as they pursue him out of the country.
The French bullyboys are joined in the hunt by a pair of sophisticated Italian mobsters, with their own agenda, and the hunt is on. In the middle of the chase, Luigi encounters a woman like no other he has ever met and falls head over heels for her.
Will Luigi's quick wits and street smarts be enough for him to evade the hunters? Will he ever be able to stay in one place, and give love a chance?
