In the gritty underbelly of the crime world, seasoned thief Ernie, portrayed by Burt Reynolds, stands at the precipice of retirement, his past woven with countless heists and the thrill of the chase. However, before he can hang up his proverbial lockpick, he vows to pass on his hard-earned wisdom to his young, somewhat dim-witted protégé, Mike. As Ernie painstakingly tutors Mike, nurturing the latent "larceny in his heart," the eager apprentice jumps the gun, embarking on his first daring robbery. The mission quickly spirals out of control, forcing Ernie to step in and employ his years of expertise to salvage the situation. Against the backdrop of this high-stakes adventure, an unexpected bond begins to flourish between the grizzled veteran and the greenhorn.

Will Mike ever match up to Ernie's prowess? As the plot unwinds, viewers are invited to join them in their gripping journey, where every turn could spell disaster or deliverance.
