WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

However, when two corrupt FBI agents (Courtney and Ramos) seize the chance to double-cross Tom and take the money for themselves, the reformed criminal engages in a game of cat-and-mouse with the agents as he fights for his freedom and his love…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
