Michael, convinced he’s a criminal mastermind, orchestrates a massive heist by forming three independent gangs that know nothing of each other and each only a fragment of his plan. From the shadows he pulls the strings, pitting the groups against one another and baffling the police with a tangled, unsolvable case. When his intricate house of cards starts to crumble, the fragile alliances collapse and the deadly game falls apart.
