Berlin, February 12, 2024 - Just a few minutes. Thats all it takes to change everything for Charly (Frederick Lau). The former safecracker is forced into one last robbery, but things quickly start going sideways. Suddenly, his whole life hangs in the balance and he has to leave behind the life hes built to protect his family. In the safe, Charly finds a coin with an unusual significance, placing him in the crossfire between merciless gangs - a Berlin clan, a Serbian gang of burglars, a Vienna pimp, the Marseille mafia, and a mysterious master thief all have their reasons for chasing the coin. Together with driver Joseph (Christoph Krutzler), Charly has to keep ahead of the gangs on his tail.
