The Secret Diary of a Conman
Description
One heist. One night. No second chances.
Fresh out of prison after being double-crossed by his former partners, a cardsharp turned conman extraordinaire finds that Mumbai's underworld is no place for a failed criminal. Having spent years amassing a fortune and securing a reputation that few can compete with, he has learnt the hard way that playing high stakes is a dangerous game - especially when one's comrades can be just as crooked as one's rivals.
He plots an elaborate heist to take revenge: an epic night of gambling amongst the city's upper echelons, with crores of rupees - and his life - on the line. When the ever-thickening web of lies and deception he has woven begins to threaten those he loves most, he is forced to make an impossible choice. The deck is stacked against him ... but this master conman has a final ace up his sleeve.
