In Detroit three friends, Sonny (50 Cent), Dave (Brett Granstaff), and Vincent (Ryan Phillippe), plan out a detailed heist of $5 million dollars worth of diamonds.

Dave dies on the spot, while Sonny manages to survive and seeks revenge by teaming up with Biggs (Bruce Willis), the most dangerous mob boss in town, to retrieve the money from the heist.

Biggs sends Sonny, along with one of his henchmen, Petey, to retrieve $2 million buried in a cemetery.

The fence runs to Vincent saying that he has to clean up his mess because he left Sonny alive as a loose end.

Sonny replies "of course", the pastor continues, "then how could you make a choice between right and wrong if god did not offer the two extremes?".

The owner of the diamonds breaks into Vincent's home and confronts him as he is packing away his money, but he kills him.

Dave's girlfriend receives the package with the Teddy bear with the money put there by Sonny.

Lionsgate distributed the film in the United States and Canada under the Grindstone Entertainment Group label and in a few international territories including the UK.
