Henry Adams is down on his luck, wandering the streets of London with only a few coins to his name. When two wealthy bankers make a bet that a man could live like a prince for a month on the strength of a single million-pound note, Henry is chosen as their unsuspecting guinea pig. As he navigates high society with his newfound wealth, Henry must keep up appearances and resist the temptation to reveal his true identity. But the stakes are high, and one misstep could cost him everything.
