- The grifters' barman Eddie approaches them as his father is in a nursing home that is trying to take his home from him in a very underhand way. The nursing home has just been taken over by Veronica Powell and the grifters, having seen her in action, vow to take her down.—Anonymous
- Eddie the barman tells the con artists about his Dad's care home and it's owner Veronica Powell. It would seem that she is robbing her residents blind by locking them into long-term contracts and also arranging to sell their homes through an auction house that she own. She is then buying the houses at cut-rate prices and re-selling them at a profit. Danny decides that the way to get her is to sell her a fake bottle of very valuable wine and they are well down the road with the scheme when they are told that the exact same trick was tried on her not long ago and that she worked with police to capture the scammers. When Danny subsequently buys a bottle of wine at auction for £47,000 the others think he has gone mad but he has a new scheme involving a house for sale and its wine cellar.—garykmcd
- The first rule of the con is never con an honest man - but that's exactly what is happening to Eddie, the gang's favourite barman.
A ruthless nursing home owner, Veronica Powell, has roped Eddie into a contract that'll cost him fifty grand to get out of - otherwise, his father loses his house and everything he's worked for.
Veronica is a woman who likes robbing old people and stealing from charities - so she's more than a mark for the gang.
This con needs to be cleverer than usual, and Billy, still awestruck in the presence of Danny, has full confidence in their leader - even though the others don't share this enthusiasm.
After a sleepless night Danny finally comes up with a plan. But will it work, and just how much will Veronica pay when she thinks she's in for a cellar full of vintage wine?
