Sean McKenna is a thief, and he’s good at it. It hasn’t made him rich, but he gets by. More importantly, it keeps him from falling into the dead-end employment trap that’s ensnared so many others in Laytons Grove, the small Illinois town where he’s spent his life.

Reagan McKenna stays clear of her brother’s business, but not his life. She would like him to rejoin the family he left many years ago, mostly to save their mother from a broken heart.

Sean is content with the life he’s forged though. He plans his jobs in great detail, always weighing the risk against the reward. However, his partners, Jack and Travis, are less calculating, and their recklessness attracts the attention of Detective Mary Morelli.

As Mary closes in on Sean and his friends, Jack proposes a job that Sean finds too risky and under planned, but Jack moves forward anyway, dragging Sean into the hasty scheme. The disastrous result shatters the peacefulness of the small town, places lives in danger, and inflicts irreparable damage to generations of families.
