When Edward Davenport was jailed for 8 years for masterminding a £4.5 million global fraud earlier this year, lurid stories emerged of a playboy lifestyle on the fringes of high society and every paper featured pictures with a host of celebrity mates. This film tells the story of the Fraud Lord through the eyes of his Thai girlfriend, Monthira Sanan-Ua and explores how she came to share the lifestyle of a man with an estimated £130 million fortune.

With her lover in prison and the court case revealing that much of his persona was built on lies, how much did Monthira know about the real man and, with the Serious Fraud Office poised to strip the fraudster of his assets, will she be forced to face up to the fact that her lord was only a phoney?
