When Quent gets out of prison, all he wants is to put together another heist. This time it’ll be perfect. He certainly doesn’t want to have anything to do with women. His ex-wife Pearl cured him of that. But as he puts together a team to pull off a Manhattan diamond job, he meets his driver’s girlfriend, Cindy. Cindy is young, not quite 18, but she’s streetwise and knows the score. But she’s too young for Quent. So it comes as a big surprise to him when he finds himself falling for the girl, even caring what happens to her. It’s one of his rules: no women involved in a heist. But for Cindy, he might have to make an exception.

When Barney finds out what Frank has done, he takes over the situation. And that’s when the real trouble begins….
