Out of Sight

Synopsis

When world-class gentleman bank robber Jack Foley makes a daring escape from Florida's Glades Prison, he unexpectedly finds himself sharing a car trunk with federal marshal Karen Sisco, who was taken hostage at gunpoint. Trapped in close quarters, an undeniable, potent chemistry sparks between the charming felon and the sharp, disarmed law enforcement officer, despite their opposing sides of the law. Karen, clad in a Chanel suit more valuable than Foley's latest heist, soon escapes, but the encounter leaves an indelible mark on both. While Jack heads to Motown for a high-stakes score with a crew of dangerous associates, he can't shake the memory of Karen. Their paths are destined to cross again, not by chance but by the very nature of their professions, setting the stage for a thrilling, witty, and dangerously seductive game of cat and mouse where business and pleasure become inextricably intertwined.
