Wine merchant Alex Gates lives an enviable lifestyle: fancy shop, attractive wife Suzanne, sexy Latin mistress Gabriella, red BMW convertible and impeccable taste in wine. In truth his finances are stretched to the limit, his marriage in shambles and his relationship with his stepson Jason is toxic. His smiling countenance hides the turmoil he feels. He is at once the snake and the charmer. The riches of his wealthy clients are all too seductive, especially a million dollar diamond necklace he and veteran safe-cracker and poker buddy Victor conspire to steal as their ticket to easy street. Rather than the key to freedom, the theft is the beginning of the end.
