The cat burglar called the Smoke is doing a favor for a down-on-his-luck boxer, when he trips over a body while cracking a safe. He now finds himself the prime suspect for murder and gets caught between two warring mob factions, all the time wondering if the boxer he’s helping isn’t the actual killer.

An ex-con brings the Smoke an opportunity for the perfect heist. Hidden inside a closed bank doomed for destruction is a lucrative secret. No guards. No alarms. No one knows the secret exists. What could possibly go wrong?

The Smoke is short on funds. And when he’s offered a simple work-for-hire job for a cool grand, he can’t pass it up. But before he knows it, he’s embroiled in a terrorist plot on US soil, and he just might end up becoming the patsy that takes the fall for mass murder.
