In order to let things cool down from their latest heist, Popeye and his group of thieves go to Macao to do a job. But the mastermind behind the job is none other than Popeye's old partner Macao Park, who escaped with 68kg of gold several years ago during their last job together. Now, Macao Park has brought his Chinese buddies to assist him. His plan takes an unexpected turn when Popeye brings Pepsi, an old flame of Macao Park, to settle the old score. The thieves' target is a $20 million diamond known as 'Tear of the Sun', kept safely away in a chic casino.
