WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A few years later, Nicky and Jess – now an accomplished con artist – meet again, but this time on opposite sides of the same scam involving billionaire race car owner Garriga (Santoro). As Nicky attempts to pull off his most dangerous scheme yet, Jess manages to throw numerous spanners into the mix, distracting Nicky from the ultimate prize…
