Description

When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man. He makes it in time to pick up the call - and is immediately dispatched to Montana on a new job. This time he's in for a mighty haul, but he has to work with a new, unknown accomplice - the only man who can crack a formidable security system. With broken promises and bodies piling up behind them, one question remains: Is there enough room in this heist for both men to come out alive?
