A slick, high-energy heist thriller built on intricate planning, cross-cultural crew dynamics, and the tension between camaraderie and self-interest.

A gang of South Korean thieves team up with a Hong Kong crew to steal a diamond necklace from a heavily-guarded casino safe in Macau. As the cops close in, old betrayals — and misunderstandings — resurface.
