Edinburgh 1926, the great Harry Houdini arrives for the grand finale of his international tour. There, he offers a prize to anyone who can contact the dead and reveal the last words uttered by his dying mother. Mary, a struggling Scottish psychic, and her nine year-old daughter Benji hear of the offer and decide to out-con Houdini.
Instantly bewitched, Houdini is convinced that Mary is who he's looking for. Mary soon finds herself seduced by Houdini's charms and drawn into his world of illusion and dark secrets. As the stakes increase, it soon becomes a question of who is out-conning who?
