"She is a lover, a criminal and a master of disguise who lives life on her own lusty terms. Acclaimed actress Alex Kingston (Dr. Elizabeth Corday of TV's ER) stars as Daniel Defoe's notorious heroine in this scandalous romp set in the 18th century. Ever since her birth in Newgate Prison, Moll has survived by relying on her cunning, with and considerable power of seduction. She goes through five husbands and countless lovers to escape a life on the streets. In between using and deceiving her besotted paramours, she is not above picking a pocket or two! All the while, though, her heart belongs to the charismatic Jemmy (Daniel Craig). Moll's shocking reputation soon makers her the country's most wanted criminal. She has victimized too many of the wrong people and now, they want to see her swinging form the gallows. Only her street smarts and uncanny talent for disguise keep her one step ahead of those out for her head. Inevitably, even the most clever criminal's luck runs out and Moll is soon facing the hangman's noose. As her execution day approaches, she devises one last desperate ploy to save not only her own neck, but also the life of her one true love."--Container.
