Premise
After leaving the criminal world, Mason and his lover Amelia go on vacation. Meanwhile, his technician accomplice Link falls in love with Georgios Caras, the bank manager from a previous robbery. They held their wedding ceremony on an island, and in addition to Mason and Amelia, Mason's brother Shawn and his friends Anton and Hector were also present. Suddenly, an armed force led by Abel Salzar disrupted the wedding and kidnapped Amelia. They then discovered that the data on the Salzar hard drive on the server had been wiped. Mason learns that Salzar wants to take Amelia hostage to force them to carry out a mission.
Salzar's lawyer, Mr. Flowers, claims that Mason's team will break into Scarlet Pearl Casino and steal an item from a safe in a penthouse room. The casino is run by crime boss Zade Black, who is also Salzar's brother and an adversary. In order to rescue Amelia, Mason leads Shawn, Link, Anton, Hector, and Callas to infiltrate the casino under new identities. Salzar, through his informants, remotely monitored their every move.
Mason and Shawn found only a crypto wallet hard drive in the safe. The hard drive belonged to Salzar's ex-girlfriend, Bella, who is now Black's girlfriend and casino manager. Mason deduced that Salzar wanted the hard drive in the secret vault to prevent it from falling into Salzar's hands. Later, Link discovered that Caras was Salzar's informant and the one who secretly wiped the server, so he angrily kicked him out. Mason discovers the hard drive is hidden inside Bella's ruby necklace, and steals the necklace. After Mason and his group were exposed, they were captured by Black; Caras appeared to help them and ambushed Black, who was then shot and killed by Bella. Bella claims that Black took her encrypted wallet hard drive.
Mason and his men began to retreat, but were stopped by Salzar. Salzar claimed he wanted revenge on Mason, so he forced Mason to choose between Amelia's life and Shawn's. At this moment, a large number of FBI agents appeared to arrest both parties; it turned out that Mason had already exchanged terms with the FBI. Mason handed over Salzar's hard drive and the secret vault to the FBI in exchange for the release of himself and his team. Finally, Shawn revealed Bella's encrypted wallet hard drive, claiming they now have $600 million.
