Doc McCoy is a seasoned bank robber who, despite his best efforts to lead a straight life, finds himself back in prison. His wife, Carol McCoy, is desperate to get him out. She strikes a deal with a corrupt businessman and politician, Jack Benyon, who agrees to pull strings for Doc's parole in exchange for Doc's expertise in pulling off a major bank heist. The arrangement is the only way Doc can regain his freedom, but it comes with a high price, not just in terms of the risky job he has to undertake but also the compromises Carol and he must make.

Once out, Doc assembles a small crew, including a shifty accomplice named Rudy. The heist itself is meticulously planned and executed with precision, but the aftermath is anything but smooth. Betrayals and double-crosses quickly unravel the crew's plans, forcing Doc and Carol to go on the run with their share of the loot. Their attempt to escape is not only from the law but also from their former allies and the dangerous underworld figures they've now enraged. The couple's journey tests their skills, their loyalty to each other, and their ability to survive under the constant threat of capture and death.
