Before Costa Rica, there was Wall Street. John Bender has a mind built for numbers - and makes a vast fortune betting against the crowd. Friends describe him as brilliant, a little arrogant - and haunted. John’s academic parents are relieved when he decides to escape the world of high finance and build a different kind of empire in the trees - but it will prove to be a decision with dark consequences.

In 1995, two Aussie lesbian lovers touch down in London and become the toast of British high society. One of them starts touting an exclusive investment opportunity and, before long, the money is rolling in. 

But the millionaire duo are concealing a dark past and dastardly intentions. Unsuspecting businessmen and England’s horse-loving elite fall under their seductive spell. Even Queen Elizabeth II gets a dose of the couple’s irresistible charms. But when a small-town detective gets wind of their exploits and vows to stop them, he finds they are exceedingly hard to catch. Host Becky Milligan tracks down one half of the duplicitous duo and persuades her to tell all in this extraordinary tale of greed, lies and love. A true rom-con for the ages.
