Synopsis

"You've got to know a secret, to tell a secret."

After twenty-five years incarcerated, Foley (Samuel L Jackson) is finished with the grifter’s life. Leaving prison, he meets a troubled young woman named Iris (Ruth Negga) and is soon embroiled in 'one last con' against drug baron Xavier (Tom Wilkinson).

Things turn from bad to worse as it soon becomes apparent that a life behind bars may have been the much easier option for Foley then a future with his new partner in crime - Iris.
