Buster Edwards is a member of the legendary gang who pulled off the Great Train Robbery of 1963 -- without even using a gun. In order to escape the police, he and his wife, June, flee with their daughter to Mexico. But even with all his ill-gotten wealth, Buster is unhappy. The Mexicans don't speak English, they eat different food, and the sun beats down on him in a way it never did in rainy, old London. Soon, June can't bear it, and she sails back to England for the comfort of the only life she has ever known. Now Buster, miserable, lonely and far from home, must make a difficult decision. Will he stay on the lam, or follow his heart and go back to his wife in England where he faces certain incarceration?
