A femme fatale named Janice cooked up the Redi-Money heist, a scheme to steal millions of dollars from a lightly guarded check-cashing center; on the surface, it sounded like the score of a lifetime. But then dead bodies began piling up and the only question that remains is: whose lifetime are we talking about. . .and who, exactly, is keeping the score?
Sometimes the stakes are so high that a crime seems too good to be true.
That's the way it was when a man named Frank returns to Oakland from Colorado to organize the multi-million dollar robbery of Redi-Money, a check-cashing outfit that caters to down-and-outers.
Just to complicate things, the heist is the brainchild of Janice, the "fiance" of Frank's best friend, and she's a siren who oozes sex from every pore and seems to be dead set on pitting Frank's crew members against each other.
Add a crooked cop to the mix, and a payoff too good to be true and you have the ingredients for disaster.
