Southerner Dix Handley is a long way from his rural Kentucky roots. Between committing petty robberies and blowing it all at the racetrack, Dix is far from raising the cash needed to buy back the horseracing farm his family once owned and lost. But he's hoping for a change of luck and master thief Erwin Riedenschneider just might have something in store for him. As Riedenschneider and Dix plan to pull off a big heist, so do their fellow thieves.
