 Jim Phelps and his team of agents get the mission to find the evidence and testimony necessary to put notorious crime ringleader Bob Connors, who have managed to escape justice for more than 10 years, in prison for good. The only person who knows enough about Connor s business dealings to provide this testimony is however a man who will never talk - Frank Marley. Apart from being Connors s close friend and protégé, Marley is according to reports secretly being groomed to take over Connor s business empire when he eventually retires. The team decide to move in on Marley in order to try to wreck his friendship with Connors, and thus loosen Marley s tongue.
