If you want to rob a bank, Alf Carter is the man to do it for you. Unfortunately, he's been banged up for five years with no chance of parole.

MI6 agent Sally Shagwell is going to have to break him out of jail and fast.

Documents of an extremely compromising nature have been deposited in a top security vault in Rio de Janeiro. British Intelligence wants them back but they cannot send in their own team and risk a diplomatic incident.

Alf and his crew will have to do the job instead. It is up to Sally to smuggle them into Brazil and keep the local Mafia at bay just long enough for them to carry out the heist.

If they pull it off, it might just be the crime of the century.
