Two best girlfriends living in London suddenly find themselves battling wits with seasoned criminals when they decide to blackmail the culprits of a bank heist in their neighborhood rather than reporting the crime to the police. Refusing to be played by this new competition and give up the demanded $2 million, the leaders of the gang of robbers (Kevin McNally and Michael Gambon) decide to start playing dirty tricks, threaten violence and counterfeit money in an effort to throw the two women (played by Minnie Driver and Mary McCormack) off course. When the blackmail and counter attacks hurt an innocent bystander, the kooky best friends must use their friendship to empower each other to lure the hardened criminals into a risky trap.

Director Cameo: [Mel Smith] Pushing past Mason at the train station whilst he is trying to explain to the ticket collector why he has not got a ticket.

Shannon:
Wait. I just thought of something.


Frances:
What?


Shannon:
You're a woman.


Frances:
...Yeah.


Shannon:
Guys like that won't take orders from women. They just pulled off a multi-million pound bank robbery and some woman rings them up asking for 300,000 pounds? I don't think they're gonna take you seriously.


Frances:
It's the 21st century. Women are doing every kind of job. We can do extortion.


Shannon:
What are you trying to do? Raise their consciousness or get the money?


Frances:
Ideally, both.

Continuity: When Frances leaves Danny's flat, she closes the door. But when Danny returns, it's wide open.
