Without her, he is a ghost amongst the living - no identity except for the one he's made for himself as pickpocket and card cheat. When he spots Minnie lost in the East End, he decides her social connections are the solution to discovering his true identity. But when she flees without supplying answers, Alex chases. They cause a proper scandal from the streets of London to Belle Epoque Paris, as the pauper falls madly in love for the ruined lady.
