However, inexplicably, instead of fleeing the country, he checks into a hotel room on the 24th floor in Manhattan, meticulously prepares himself, and intends to jump from the window under the gaze of bustling New York. His actions soon attract a large number of police and media, and a young negotiator, Lydia (Elizabeth Banks), tries to persuade him to come back inside. During her gradual persuasion, Lydia realizes that Nick was framed by the owner of the diamonds, David (Ed Harris), who intended to collect a hefty insurance payout. However, what Lydia never expected was that Nick's suicide was just a distraction; his brother and girlfriend are carrying out a revenge plan in the jewelry vault building across the street...
