action thriller.
Tony Fait (
DMX) is a master thief who, along with his crew (
Gabrielle Union,

Tony has a soft spot for his young daughter
Vanessa (

Ling (

Vanessa, demanding a ransom from
Tony for her return -- the stash of black diamonds. The jewels have already been stolen, however, from
Tony's fence
Archie (

Chi McBride). Determined to get back his daughter whatever the cost,
Tony and his gang set out to find both

Su (
