On a snowy morning, Kip Walton is released from Wormwood Scrubs Prison and makes his way to visit the grave of his wife, who died while he was inside. Back home, he begins to lay out a plan for a bank robbery inspired by a dying co-prisoner’s idea, hoping to turn his fortunes around. The scheme involves breaking into a basement bank vault through the cellar of a bombed house and linking to an old interconnecting air-raid shelter, a route that promises secrecy and risk in equal measure.
