Robert "Mac" MacDougal has an untarnished reputation as the world's greatest art thief. So when a 
priceless Rembrant is stolen in New York, the evidence points to Mac. Insurance investigator "Gin" Baker 
persuades her boss, whose company will lose $24 million on the theft, to let her go after the master 
criminal. The strong-willed and resourceful Gin has to entrap Mac, but he proves even more elusive and 
crafty than she expected. While engaging in an electric pas de deux of wariness and attraction, 
Mac and Gin form an edgy partnership that takes them from London, via the Western Isles of Scotland, 
to Kuala Lumpur, the high-tech capital of Malaysia. Together they come up with a daring plan for a 
multi-billion dollar-heist tied to the dawn of a new millennium...

==========

Following the theft of a highly-secured piece of artwork, an agent convinces her insurance agency employers 
to allow her to wriggle into the company of an aging but active master thief. Connery's burglar takes her 
on suspiciously and demands rigorous training before their first job together--stealing a highly-valued mask 
from a chichi party. Their deepening attraction and distrust could tear apart their partnership but the 
promise of a bigger prize (some eight billion odd dollars) by Zeta-Jones keeps the game interesting. Only, 
who's playing with whom?
