Description: In swinging '60s London, Laura Quinn is the only female executive in the upper echelons of London Diamonds Corp. However, she remains frustrated by her inability to clamber up another rung on the career ladder, always passed over for promotion in favour of an inexperienced, male colleague. When a scandal in South Africa threatens to derail a lucrative business relationship with the Russians, Laura's bold proposal saves the day and the company's blushes, yet she learns soon after from aging janitor Hobbs that the company's chairman intends to sack her. Consumed with rage, Laura is intrigued when Hobbs proposes revenge: by helping him to pull off the heist of diamonds from the safe.
