Daniel Foray is the leader of an unusual group of burglars in Paris. When he's instructed by fence Laurent to go to Chicago to steal an expensive necklace in a suburban safe, the seemingly basic job becomes a fight for survival when the homeowner turns out to be mafia kingpin Frank Zammeti, who is also under stakeout from authorities. The team are lead to believe by American liaison Sophie that they wrote down the wrong address, but when she disappears with the money and other items taken from the mafioso, they later learn that his residence was the correct target after all and it was a setup by corrupt FBI Agent Pogue.
