Jamie Foxx stars as Alvin Sanders, a petty thief who ends up serving jail time after he is caught stealing prawns from a seafood warehouse. His cellmate is
one of two men who pulled off a miraculous heist at the Federal Gold Reserve in New York City. Just before Jaster dies of a heart attack, he gives Alvin
vague instructions to share with his wife, which may or may not reveal the location of the stolen gold. U.S. Treasury Department chief investigator Edgar
Clenteen (Morse) is convinced that Alvin is the only link to Jaster's invisible partner, Bristol (Hutchison). In order to locate Bristol, Clenteen implants a
state-of-the-art tracking device into Alvin's jaw and releases him from prison without telling him the real reason why. When Alvin reunites with his
girlfriend, Lisa (Elise), he finds that she now has a son to which he is the father. He soon learns the genuine cause for his release, thrusting him into a
dangerous world of mystery and murder. In order to save his wife and child, Alvin must cooperate with the evil Bristol and help him locate the gold.
