A crew of criminals and corrupt cops in Atlanta, Georgia- Michael Atwood (Ejiofor), Russell Welch (Reedus), Russell's brother Gabe (Paul), and corrupt cops Marcus Belmont (Mackie) and Franco Rodriguez (Collins) - are strong-armed by Irinia (Winslet), the wife of a Jewish-Russian mafia boss, into stealing data from a secure government building. The job is considered impossible, until one of the crew suggests killing a cop (a "999" in Atlanta Police radio code) to distract the rest of the force from the scene of the real crime. Marcus nominates his new partner, Chris Allen (Affleck), to be the unsuspecting victim, but when Allen survives the attack, the entire plan is put at risk.
