Finally in retirement! Richard Jones (Pierce Brosnan), a divorced middle-aged entrepreneur is already looking forward to a carefree life when he arrives at work on his last day. But he discovers that the buyout of his company was a scam; the company is now bankrupt and all the funds - including his - in their pension fund have been embezzled. Together with ex-wife Kate (Emma Thompson) goes on the hunt for Vincent Kruger, the suspicious businessman behind the whole thing. And before they know it, they find themselves in a cat-and-mouse game across Europe - with a whirlwind of intrigue, crazy chases and jewelry theft among them - during which love is rekindled between them.

Five years after the international success of the comedy Last Chance, Harvey is a screenwriter and director Joel Hopkins wanted to work with again Emma Thompson; she was immediately fascinated by the story of a couple separated for eight years who embark on a journey as wild as a death train, and she proposed as a co-star Pierce Brosnan. The majority of the film was shot in Paris and the French Riviera - and entirely in France, adding to it a timeless, classically romantic French charm.
