By offering a three million dollar bounty, a cent of which he never plans to part with, he's turned the city that never sleeps into a get-rich-quick circus with an overzealous Mayor acting as ringmaster looking to please Mr. Moneypockets any way he can. Lieutenant Driscoll, who's been assigned the case hours after he buried his wife, must put his grief on hold and focus on shutting down the twins' reign of terror by apprehending them before their denouement is dictated by an unscrupulous and unforgiving interloper.
