One last heist. He's run up the kind of gambling debt that - if he can't pay it back in cash - will be paid in blood.

Unfortunately for Johnny's recruits, they have to head to Spain and rob the world's most notorious super villain blind. And Johnny's got a plan to help the Heat and make all his buddies disgustingly rich at the same time.
