Nick Barrow is a seasoned heist planner who sells his schemes to the highest bidder. However, everything goes awry when he is compelled to take his estranged daughter Cate, who he has never really connected with, on the run after a botched job. Cate has been forced to be self-reliant due to her mother Lucy’s struggles with alcoholism. This sudden disruption only adds to their tense relationship, as Cate struggles with the turmoil that her father’s criminal lifestyle has thrust upon her.

Determined to uncover the truth behind his betrayal, Nick teams up with an elderly man named Harper to get the inside scoop. Through their investigations, Nick deduces that the traitorous double-crosser is none other than Captain Keenan, an undercover officer with lethal intentions.
