Storyline

In 1972, Vincent Moretti is sent to prison for fraud and murder, where he meets Leo Caruso, serving time for armed robbery. After a thug sent by crime boss Harvey attempts to kill Leo, Vincent intervenes, and the two form an uneasy alliance to escape. Vincent reveals Harvey murdered his brother and framed him; Leo reveals Harvey betrayed him after they stole the Black Orlov diamond together. After breaking out, the pair track Harvey to Mexico, kill him, and recover the diamond. Upon returning to the United States, Vincent is revealed to be an undercover FBI agent whose brother was killed during the sting operation that led to Leo's arrest. Feeling betrayed, Leo takes Vincent hostage and flees. Their confrontation ends with one killing the other, depending on the players' actions.
