After a grueling five-year sentence, master burglar Tony le Stéphanois is released from prison, only to find himself caught in the unforgiving rain of Paris and the harsh reality of his former lover Mado's betrayal. Now the mistress of a ruthless gangster, Mado's deceit cuts deep, pushing a despondent Tony towards an audacious proposition from his friends and past accomplices, Jo and Mario. In the underbelly of the city, they plan a seemingly straightforward smash-and-grab at the illustrious Mappin & Webb Ltd, a renowned jewelry store. However, Tony, fueled by a burning need for redemption and revenge, demands an upgrade to their scheme. His ambition?

Cesar's Don Juan tendencies lead him to gift a stolen ring to his mistress, threatening to unravel their perfectly woven plan. Even as they celebrate their victory, the looming dread of discovery hangs over them. Will their seemingly perfect heist remain undiscovered, or will the slip of a single ring send their world crashing down?
