Frank is an expert professional safecracker, specialized in high-profile diamond heists. He plans to use his ill-gotten income to retire from crime and build a nice life for himself complete with a home, wife and kids. To accelerate the process, he signs on with a top gangster for a big score.
Neon-soaked streets and the rhythmic clatter of drilling steel create a cool, lonely atmosphere for this heist classic. One final, massive score threatens to shatter the fragile dream of a quiet life and a clean getaway.
