John Turturro at his finest! An aging pickpocket steals from a mobster’s son and suddenly finds himself fearing for his life – and for that of his wife, who depends on his care.

Thanks to his cunning, pickpocket Harry Lehman (Turturro) was once a celebrated master of his craft. Now he is pushing 70 and the New York that surrounds him has changed. No one carries much cash around or wears expensive watches anymore, while credit cards can be frozen instantly and cell phones tracked. Harry is an analog man in a digital world, barely scraping by. One day, he unknowingly steals a valuable USB drive from a partying rich kid. Unfortunately, the victim turns out to be Dylan Diamond, heir to a ruthless Mafia family. And they are not the kind to forgive an offense committed against one of their own.
