Synopsis

Here's Parker—planning to steal the entire payroll of an Air Force base in upstate New York, with help from Marty Fusco—whose fresh out of the pen—and a smart aleck finance clerk named Devers. Holed up with family in a scrappy little town, the hoisters prepare for the risky job by trying to shorten the odds. But the ice is thinner than Parker likes to think—and Marty's ex-wife is much more complicated.
