The story

The plot centers around three brothers, sophisticated armed robbers led by the shrewd Dale, who work with their long-time lawyer, Frank, and corrupt police to pull off the biggest heist in Australian history. Matters become complicated when Dale begins to realise that while he has been in jail his wife, Carol, has been sleeping with Frank, who has schemes of his own. The major heist is a reworking of the 1976 Great Bookie Robbery, with a number of variations, including the murders of several people.
