Plot:

Josh Kovacs is the building manager of a high-rise luxury apartment complex called The Tower in Columbus Circle. The most noteworthy tenant is wealthy businessman Arthur Shaw, who has a strong rapport with Josh and the building staff. One day, Shaw is caught by Josh and FBI agent Claire Denham trying to flee the city, and it is revealed that Shaw is being accused of a Ponzi scheme. Josh had offered Shaw his and the other building employees’ pensions for an investment opportunity which are therefore lost as a result. Shaw is sentenced to house arrest in his penthouse apartment until his guilt or innocence can be proved. Lester, the building’s retiring doorman, attempts to commit suicide by jumping in front of a subway, but is saved at the last minute and taken to a hospital. Lester reveals that he not only lost his pension in Shaw’s scheme, but his other sources of capital as well. Josh goes to Shaw’s apartment with Charlie Gibbs, the concierge and Josh’s brother-in-law, and Enrique Dev’reaux, the bellhop and newest tower employee. When Josh mentions Lester’s suicide attempt, Shaw appears insincere, suggesting his guilt, and Josh responds by destroying the windows of Shaw’s prized Ferrari 250. Josh, Charlie, and Enrique are fired by Mr. Simon, their boss, as a result.

Josh and Claire meet at a bar and after a few drinks, Claire drunkenly mentions that Shaw has a safety net of around $20 million in cash and suggests they should break in and take it.
