The main character, Nick Cassidy played by Sam Worthington, simulates that he is about to commit suicide as he stands on the ledge of his hotel room. However, little do the police know, he is distracting the police as his brother, Joey, and Joey's girlfriend Angie, attempt to break into an important and valuable vault, Englander vault, opposite from Nick's hotel and capture a diamond. During this process the police find out Nick's identity and recognise his background, after he was previously framed for stealing the diamond by David Englander, and sent in orders for the jewelery security to check the vault. David Englander figures out the plan and attempts to stop the robbery. However Englander gets stitched up and is eventually arrested for framing Nick Cassidy.
Throughout the film there is a huge element of suspense and mystery as the viewer doesn't find out if Nick is going to jump off the ledge or if it is a plot. The film is set in New York City, which sets an innocent location as such a big and terrifying scene is unusual in such a beautiful city. The film is set in modern day time which intrigues the viewer as they can relate to the film as they become emotionally attached. As well as the film creating suspense and mystery, in the flash back scene where it shows Nick Cassidy's past it creates emotion upon the viewer which helps ease the tension of the film. The film is full of surprises and twists and engages the audience.
