Paxton and Linda are a couple trapped together in their London home due to the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Paxton is furloughed from his delivery job, which he can't get away from due to his criminal record, and Linda, CEO of the UK division of a multinational media corporation, is forced to make her local staff redundant to cut costs. Making things worse, Linda wants to end things with Paxton, turning their home into a lockdown prison for them both. However, Paxton is given an opportunity by his boss to transport high-value goods over several days from London department stores to secure warehouses as the stores close during lockdown restrictions. To do so, he must use a fake identity so that his criminal past won't jeopardise his boss's lucrative contracts. Meanwhile, Linda finds herself the only person available to extract a $3 million gem that her company has on display in Harrods, one of the most costly, most secure department stores in the world, where Linda worked for several years. And Harrods is the last stop on Paxton's jobs, where their high security will see through his fake ID, with the blame falling on Linda. On a collision course through lockdown stress, opportunity, love, corporate greed, community pot banging, and destiny, Linda and Paxton plan to do something utterly audacious to change their lives and rekindle their relationship, and with the entire country locked down, it might just work.—neuro

Synopsis

Paxton and Linda are a disgruntled couple living in London amid the COVID-19 pandemic lock-down. Paxton is able to get only jobs as a delivery truck driver due to an assault arrest 10 years prior and is upset about how his life has turned out.

Due to stores being shut down there are a limited amount of drivers available for high-value deliveries, so Paxton's boss asks him to make runs under a false identity for him. Linda, who is a CEO at a marketing company, is tasked with clearing out inventory from a fashion display she planned at the nearby Harrods department store. She soon realizes their delivery schedules at the store overlap, and Paxton would not get past the security checkpoint Linda has set up.

Linda discloses that there is a £3 million diamond in the vault at Harrods that has been sold to an anonymous buyer, and the store keeps a duplicate on-location. She and Paxton agree to take the real diamond for themselves and send the fake one to the buyer in New York City, splitting the sale between themselves and the National Health Service.

Upon making it to the store, Linda and Paxton retrieve the diamond and swap it out with the fake. However they are confronted by Donald, a former co-worker of Linda's she was told to fire earlier in the week. Donald had called the police after learning of Paxton's fake identity. Linda reveals their plan, and Donald agrees to lie for them.

Paxton and Linda, who originally planned to go their separate ways, decide to reevaluate their relationship. Then the COVID lock-down is extended by another two weeks.
