Brendan Lavin is an ex-con trying to make an honest living
in New York City. It’s not an easy thing to do. His bakery is floundering,
business is bad, and the bills are getting bigger and harder to pay. When his
girl’s second cousin Tommy walks in with news of a job, Brendan initially wants
nothing to do with it. But the rent is about to go up again, his supplier – of
baking ingredients, that is – has cut him off, and he won’t be able to pay all
his bills. Finally, he picks up the phone and gives Tommy a call and learns
about the job.
It’s an armoured car heist, and it’s supposed to be as easy
as taking candy from a baby. But it goes wrong; terribly, terribly wrong. Four
people end up dead, and Brendan is torn up with guilt. When Maureen finds out
about what he’s done, she leaves him. And so, Brendan takes his money and
decides to start over again in Shanghai. But twelve years later, the past comes
back with a vengeance when Brendan’s former colleagues find him, and they
demand his help in another job…
