Hardy is a small-time diamond salesman and ex-cop who knows private deals mean trouble. Against his better judgment he decides to help a rich acquaintance find a special diamond for his wife. Saul finds the perfect gem, but the deal turns deadly when the diamond is revealed to be part of the haul from a violent murder-robbery.

Caught between the cops, the mob, a beautiful amateur jeweler, and shady gemologists, Saul must figure out how to clear his name before he becomes the next casualty.
