Alex, shortly after getting out of his orphanage, tries to find his place in society. But In a matter of days the youngster gives in to the temptation of robbery, which know-how he had took from his mother shortly after vanishing for good. Sara is a random petty thief, a happy college girl. On the day they meet, the burglar makes her a delirious proposition: robbing together and split the dough. The professional pact hides a mutual attraction, stronger than the differences that aside their two worlds.
