When a thief steals an orb that half the galaxy wants, he must hold a crew of criminals together to keep it.

Longer logline

When a small-time thief lifts a metal orb from a dead planet and finds a fanatic, a bounty and an assassin all coming for it, in a world where a stone inside it can wipe out a planet the moment someone touches it to a hammer, a man who has been running since he was abducted as a boy must turn four other convicts into something like a team, before the zealot carrying it reaches a world of a billion people.
