When Jake Drake gets mugged twice in ten minutes, he comes up with a plan to con the criminals on his estate.

With the help of his closet pals, he starts a rumour about a new gangster in town - the Big Baresi, the biggest, gangster that never was.

The con works, but not for long, as events start snow-balling out of control.

Soon Jake and his gang are in trouble. Big trouble. Facing total meltdown, and stuck with a freezer full of diamonds every bad-guy wants a scoop of.
