Raised in a den of petty thieves, or 'fingersmiths,' plucky orphan Sue Trinder (Sally Hawkins) agrees to help a con man known as Gentleman (Rupert Evans) defraud and betray wealthy heiress Maud Lilly (Elaine Cassidy). But Sue's plans are turned upside down when she falls in love with Maud. Then the women are separated - each to her own helish prison - just as they realize the strenght of their passion for each other. . . ; ; Fingersmith was originally broadcast on the BBC and features Osca nominee and BAFTA-winner Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) and BAFTA-nominee Charles Dance (The Jewel in the Crown).
