Film Synopsis

At 35, Sam is a safe-breaker without comparison.  It is a profession that is not without risks, but Sam knows it is the only life he is suited for.  He rejects the appeals of his grandfather to join the family business and struggles to bring up his young son alone.  Sam has just one ambition - to be a Mensch, a good man.
