Plot
Two small-time criminals and longtime friends, as Deuce (Theo Rossi) and Chucky (Clive Standen), graduate from robbing pawn shops and jewelry stores and become involved in a plan to rob a mafia vault.
They are recruited with a group of small time criminals by Gerry “The Frenchman” Ouimette (Don Johnson), the right-hand man for Providence Mafia boss Raymond Patriarca (Chazz Palminteri). Patriarca is a notorious gangster and executioner who although in jail, continues running his crime empire from inside his well-appointed jail cell.
The crew pull off the biggest heist in American history: stealing over $30 million from a fur dealer's vault that the Mafia uses as it's unofficial bank to store cash and stolen goods.
After the heist, they turn most of it over to Ouimette to fence while they lie low and hope for the heat to dissipate. Duece hides out in a rural motel with his girlfriend Karyn, growing increasingly anxious. One by one, members of the crew are killed.
Deuce and Chucky become suspicious and turn on each other. Deuce is arrested and told Chucky was killed by the Mafia. He's told he might qualify for witness protection if he gives enough information. After confessing, he learns that Chucky is still alive.
