A father and son struggle to determine the direction the next generation will take. What makes this dilemma so unusual is that grandpa is a career thief and the grandson wishes to follow in his footsteps. The hitch is they need their son/dad to help them pull off a heist.
The McMullens are a family of career criminals, led by patriarch Jessie. His son, Vito, has left the family "business," and Vito is hopeful that his son Adam, a smart, college-educated young man without any criminal past, will have a bright future. When Adam approaches his grandfather about the possibility of a big-time heist involving millions of dollars worth of test tube specimens, Vito reluctantly joins his father and son in the burglary scheme.
