[edit] Synopsis
Kevin (Lawrence) and Max (DeVito) have made careers out of stealing from others. Kevin Caffrey is a professional thief with a taste for the finer things in life. Billionaire Max Fairbanks is a ruthless businessman used to getting whatever he wants when he wants it. When Kevin targets Max's supposedly unoccupied beachfront mansion for an easy night-time heist, he interrupts Max in the bath and the cops are soon called, and Kevin is arrested. With Kevin in handcuffs, however, Max takes it one step too far, he takes Kevin's good-luck ring right off his finger, telling the police it's his and exacting his own little revenge; thieving from a thief. Lines are now drawn, the ring was Kevin's girlfriend's, and he'll do anything to get it back. As their battle of wills escalates, Kevin and Max go their way towards finding out that the worst that could happen is worse than they ever imagined.
