Full Synopsis

In this cool, but surprisingly emotional, gangster flick, Jack is a true gentleman and a class act of the short con game. With his young protégé, the charmingly streetwise Steve alongside the sharp and sexy Jenny, and the ‘bloody hopeless’ Goat he runs a formidable team of quick-witted and successful con artists.

Keeping the team on track and making sure Steve is focussed on the play (not on Jenny’s foxy good looks) is the only trouble for Jack – until a simple heist goes wrong and they are lumbered with a truck full of illegal immigrants destined for the sex trade. While most of the illegals scarper, two of them, a scruffy 11-year-old girl and her frightened younger brother, are left in Jack’s reluctant charge. But then the furious smuggler sets out on a bloody vendetta, determined to wreak revenge for the loss of his precious cargo…
