In all its fury and violence …Like no other picture since “Scarface” and “Little Caesar”!
A meticulous ex-con and his group of accomplices plan a daring racetrack heist, hoping to make off with a fortune in cash. As the heist unfolds, tension builds as each member’s betrayal, greed, and mistakes unravel the carefully laid plans. In the end, a series of tragic miscalculations leads to a violent and inevitable downfall for everyone involved.
