PLOT : A group of hardened criminals has just robbed a private home and escaped with a bountiful loot: a cache of jewelry and a very expensive painting. The heist, however, was anything but smooth: one of their own died and the house burned down.
The boss, Joe, is unhappy, and sends two of his men on a punitive mission. The dead man’s sister, Sasha, wants to avenge her brother, and actively hunts him down.
Ryan, the caper’s mastermind, is already planning to sell the painting for a multi-million dollar payout. Thwarting his plans is Lou, who wants to keep the original and sell copies of the painting, doubling the take.
The prospective buyers are members of the Russian mafia, who are much more sophisticated and savvy than Lou gives them credit for. Ryan warns him of this, telling Lou that he is jeopardizing the entire operation with his quixotic aspirations.
