A police shootout leaves four thieves dead during an explosive armed robbery attempt in Chicago. Their widows have nothing in common except a debt left behind by their spouses' criminal activities. Hoping to forge a future on their own terms, they join forces to pull off a heist.
Set in Chicago, Montréal, and Paris, a quiet story about love and conscience, drawn from multiple literary sources, including Theodore Dreiser’s eponymous 1900 novel, Alexandre Dumas fils' La Dame aux Camélias, Abbé Prévost’s Manon Lescaut, and Sherwood Anderson’s “Brothers.”
