Chancer

Award winner Clive Owen stars as Stephen Crane, a sick and arrogant City business analyst, con man and outsider who weaves his financial wizardry around the ailing fortunes of an elegant sports car company.

In between the dodgy deals designed to save the prestigious Douglas Motors and his own serious business worries, Crane is drawn into the complicated lives of the formidable Douglas clan.

Passion, intrigue and suspense combine in this powerful first series as Crane is dragged into a blistering and adulterous marriage break-up, makes some faithful new friends - and some dangerous new enemies.
