After a powerful crime patron is assassinated, he’s forced back in, blackmailed into a hunt for a legendary hidden fortune that could destroy him and the woman he loves. Racing against him is his former partner-turned-rival, Winston (Rhymes), as old loyalties fracture and the score becomes a winner-take-all showdown” — Randall Ives Emmett, Director
