In Chicago, Veronica Rawlings is the wife of Harry, a thief who works for a crew. During a job, the van they use to escape explodes in the middle of a shootout with the police. Before that day, Harry had stolen two million dollars from Jamal Manning, a crime boss who now wants Veronica to pay back the money. Jamal demands that she return it, because he needs it to fund his campaign for alderman in a South Side ward. There he faces Jack Mulligan, the latest in a family that has held the seat for decades. Veronica finds herself saddled with a debt she didn't incur and under the pressure of a man who won't accept excuses.
