In New York, the experienced art thief, Keith Ripley, invites the bold
thief from Miami, Gabriel Martin, to team up with him. He plans the
heist of two valuable mysterious antique Faberge eggs, located in a
safe, of the well protected Russian jewelry Romanov. Each egg is worth
twenty million dollars on the black market, and Ripley needs his cut to
free himself from his debt to a powerful mobster, known as Nicky. The
reluctant Gabriel agrees to participate, after having a one night stand
with Ripley's goddaughter Alexandra Karolin. Meanwhile, the persistent
Lieutenant Weber, who has unsuccessfully tried to put Ripley in jail
for twenty years, figures out how to anticipate the movements of the
criminal in order to catch him.
