"The Guy" (JOSEPH ARRIAGA), a young Mexican man of 19, is the sole survivor of a shipwreck in the Gulf. He buries his family in the swamps and hitchhikes to New Orleans, a box of photos of his loved ones his remaining possession. He lives as a petty thief to survive, staying in a converted shed behind a nice house, where he is the caretaker (and part-time lover) for a single mother. For extra money, he procures a motorcycle and becomes a getaway driver for small break-ins. One day, he snatches the purse of a beautiful, dangerous woman named Lisa (KENDRA JONES). She follows him and, in turn, steals his sole possession-his precious box of photos. To get his photos back, she says he needs to simply steal the keys to a condo and deliver them to her. Inside the condo is a priceless painting called "House on Fire" painted by her famous painter father, now deceased. Her group of highly professional (and highly secretive) thieves stole the painting from a museum in Hong Kong five years earlier
