      UPSTAIRS, MADAM IS PLANNING THE PARTY OF THE SEASON.

      DOWNSTAIRS, THE SERVANTS ARE PLOTTING THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY.


      When Mrs King, housekeeper to the most illustrious home in Mayfair, is suddenly dismissed after years of loyal service, she knows just who to recruit to help her take revenge.

      THEY COME FROM NOTHING. BUT THEY''LL LEAVE WITH EVERYTHING.
