BRANDYN WOOD chases his childhood dream. His parents, both thieves and con artists, taught him well. During a stop at a traffic light, he sees the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and decides to go for the big score. He cons the Chairman, PORTEND BUFORD into a behind-the-scenes tour. Buford catches Brandyn stealing the security codes to the computers. But instead of ending Brandyn's criminal career, Buford wants in on the heist! A contrived plane crash masks their escape to the independent island nation of Freeland. On the island, the Fed's computers are hacked to repay the Russian Mafya and to live wealthy and free forever. But the money and freedom come at a great price. MAI, Brandyn's love, was left behind grieving his death in the plane crash. SMOOTH, Brandyn's associate, convinces Mai that Brandyn has 'gone to a better place!' She arrives on the island and is stunned to see Brandyn is alive. On top of the island's highest mountain, Brandyn and Mai survey the island paradise. Brandyn's dream is complete. It's good to be king!
