During Harry Houdini's (Guy Pearce's) tour of Britain in 1926, the master escapologist enters into a passionate affair with a Scottish psychic. The psychic and her daughter attempt to con Houdini during a highly-publicized séance to contact his mother, whose death has haunted him for many years. However, all does not go to plan.
