His existence is turned upside down when Spike Malone, a charismatic safecracker, breaks into his luxurious Fifth Avenue residence. Minuit, masquerading as 'Gentleman George,' a fictitious persona he creates to pique Spike's interest, convinces the thief that he, too, is a cunning crook. As their relationship evolves, Minuit becomes increasingly enthralled by Spike's daring exploits and the two embark on a series of adventures that subvert Minuit's staid and predictable life. Through their escapades, Minuit discovers a sense of purpose and vitality he had been lacking, ultimately leading to a transformation of his character.
