Los Angeles. Una rapina a un importatore di diamanti che avrebbe potuto dare un ottimo bottino con un rischio calcolato si trasforma in una sparatoria che costringe i malviventi a una fuga disordinata. C'è però un punto di ritrovo prestabilito da Joe, il loro capo. Si tratta di un deposito abbandonato che viene raggiunto per primi da Mr. White e Mr. Orange gravemente ferito. Ognuno degli appartenenti alla banda ha finora conosciuto gli altri solo con il nome di un colore per evitare eventuali delazioni. Ma è proprio il dubbio che al loro interno si nasconda un infiltrato della polizia che comincia a tormentare i soggetti che, progressivamente, raggiungeranno il punto di raccolta.
