The quartet of talented illusionists J. Daniel Atlas, Merritt McKinney, Henley
Reeves and Jack Wilder who refer to themselves as the Four Horsemen are back,
a year after their last eventful encounter with the FBI. Now they find
themselves at the mercy of Walter Mabry, a technical wizard who coerces them
into carrying out their most daring heist so far - the theft of a valuable
data mining chip which can supposedly decrypt any security device in the
world. Stealing the chip is a challenge but it turns out to be well
within the quartet's capabilities. Clearing their name and turning
the tables on their mysterious adversary proves to be somewhat more difficult...
