| Synopsis | The Hillcrest Estate is to host a lavish trade function. Lady Hillcrest isn't convinced that it's a good idea despite the efforts of event manager Matthew Sharp and his assistant, Elaine. Fortunately Lady Hillcrest has other things on her mind, principally son and heir Tarquin's continued inability to acquire a bride to carry on the family line. Personal stylist Juste Valadier is called in to turn Tarquin into a more attractive proposition. Also in attendance is a sinister Eastern European hit-man seeking out his victim and willing to eliminate anyone in his way. Add to the mix the Finneran family and blunt businessman, Norman Arbuthnot and a successful event seems a rather distant possibility... |
