In Los Angeles, Mike Davis (Chris Hemsworth) is an elusive and highly disciplined jewel thief, carefully planning his robberies to avoid violence and forensic tracking while using U.S. Route 101 for his getaways. Despite pushback from his own department, seasoned LAPD Detective Lou Lubesnick (Mark Ruffalo) is convinced these seemingly unconnected heists are the work of a single, brilliant mastermind.
As Mike meticulously prepares for his final, most ambitious robbery yet, he crosses paths with Sharon (Halle Berry), an overlooked but sharp high-end insurance broker whom he hopes to recruit. Their dangerous game of cat-and-mouse is further complicated by Ormon (Barry Keoghan), a volatile and violent young biker brought into the fold by Mike's unpredictable underworld fence, Money (Nick Nolte). With the stakes higher than ever, the boundaries separating right and wrong dissolve, forcing everyone involved to confront the ultimate cost of their choices.
