Plot summary
Luther Whitney, a man in his late 60s, is a well experienced burglar, who specializes in burglarizing the wealthy. On the night of his planned last heist ever, something goes wrong. In the midst of burglarizing the house, he enters a vault that allows him to see everything that goes on in the bedroom by way of a one-way mirror. While the lady of the house returned with a companion, the President of the United States, he was trapped inside and he witnesses two Secret Service agents killing the billionaire's trampy young wife as she tries to fight off the drunken sexual advances of the nation's chief executive. That made Whitney the target of the nation's executive.
