They don't come any tougher than Nolan - but even a hardened professional thief can't fight off the whole Chicago mafia. So after 16 years on the run, Nolan's ready to let an old friend broker a truce. The terms: Pull off one last heist and hand over the proceeds.

But when things go wrong, Nolan finds himself facing the deadliest double cross of his career. Fortunately, Nolan has a knack for survival - and an unmatched hunger for revenge.
