Half-brothers Andrew Foster and Garret Foster lead a thrilling life as international car thieves, specializing in high-end automobiles. Their latest ambition takes a perilous turn when they steal a one-of-a-kind Bugatti, which they unwittingly snatch after its auction purchase in France for an astounding $41 million, not knowing it belongs to the infamous Marseille crime lord, Jacomo Morier.

Captured by Morier’s henchmen while attempting to offload the stolen car, the brothers find themselves at Morier’s lavish home. There, he reveals his impressive garage filled with exquisite cars and, to their horror, he prepares to execute them for their audacious crime. In a desperate bid for survival, they propose a deal to Morier: if they can procure a rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO—valued at $38 million—from the ruthless businessman Max Klemp, they can redeem themselves. Morier accepts but imposes a stringent deadline of just one week to accomplish this grand heist.

Max Klemp, a mastermind of ruthlessness, graduated with an MBA at just 15 years old. He is known for his violent tactics in business, a reputation earned after inheriting his father’s company at 30 and being gifted the magnificent Ferrari 250 GTO. Morier’s disdain for Klemp grows after past business conflicts lead to Klemp encroaching on Morier’s territory in Marseille, a situation that Morier is determined to rectify.

With their plan set in motion, the brothers quickly assemble a team in Marseille, including Stephanie, Andrew’s girlfriend, and her resourceful friend Devin, who is skilled at pickpocketing. Andrew shares with Garret that this will be his last job before tying the knot with Stephanie. They also enlist Leon, a demolitions expert, and recruit four drivers for the endeavor. However, their efforts are complicated by Morier’s cousin Laurent, who is keeping a close eye on their activities, and the presence of two Interpol agents, Officer Depaul and Officer Closson.

After a tumultuous series of events, Garret begins to fall for Devin, who teaches him about trust in a world filled with deceit. In a clever maneuver, Andrew and Garret sabotage Klemp’s private plane’s propeller to secure a meeting with him, where they boldly volunteer to steal any vehicle he desires. In a strategic twist, they are drawn deeper into the web of deceit, weighing the merits of abandoning their dangerous heist.

Things take a dire turn when Morier’s men kidnap Stephanie, using her as leverage to ensure the brothers follow through with their plan. Frantically, Andrew and Garret race against time to rescue her, leading to a nail-biting cliffhanger where they find her in a precarious situation, bound and left in danger by Laurent.

As the robbery unfolds, Stephanie cunningly manages to escape her confinement, setting off alarms and arming herself before meeting the team at the door. Morier, who had insisted on being part of the intricate plan, remains blissfully unaware of the trap that has been laid for him.

In a dramatic twist of fate, the execution of the heist leads to a chase to the docks, where Andrew proposes to Stephanie, and she happily accepts. Ultimately, the brothers hand over all of Morier’s stolen cars to Klemp, revealing that they had orchestrated a larger scheme with him against Morier, as a shared vendetta.

With a final twist, it is revealed that the Interpol agents were also in league with Klemp. As the dust settles, we witness a nail-biting conclusion where Morier meets a tragic end, engineered by Devin’s clever maneuver.

Later, in the romantic ambiance of Paris, we see Garret, Stephanie, and Andrew together, and Garret’s initial fears of being stood up dissipate when Devin surprises them in Klemp’s Ferrari, handing the keys to Andrew. This gesture leaves Garret bewildered, leading to discussions of their next big score, as Stephanie tantalizes the group with the mention of a rare car in Barcelona—a mere nine exist worldwide. With newfound enthusiasm, Andrew chooses to join his unconventional crew, setting the stage for yet another audacious adventure.
