Parker er den mest vågale, grundige og hensynsløse tyven i bransjen. Han er ekspert på planlegging og gjennomføring av tilsynelatende umulige kupp. Alt han krever av mannskapet sitt er absolutt lojalitet, og at de følger hans plan slavisk. Men når det siste ranet ender med et dødsfall grunnet uforsiktighet, avslår Parker å delta i gangstersjefen Melander og hans gjeng sin store jobb. De er derimot ikke villig til å ta nei for et svar, går løs på han og etterlater han for å dø. Mot alle odds så overlever Parker og sverger hevn mot de som forrådet han.

It is written among the limitless constellations of the celestial heavens, and in the depths of the emerald seas, and upon every grain of sand in the vast deserts, that the world which we see is an outward and visible dream, of an inward and invisible reality ... Once upon a time there was a golden city. In the center of the golden city, atop the tallest minaret, were three golden balls. The ancients had prophesied that if the three golden balls were ever taken away, harmony would yield to discord, and the city would fall to destruction and death. But... the mystics had also foretold that the city might be saved by the simplest soul with the smallest and simplest of things. In the city there dwelt a lowly shoemaker, who was known as Tack the Cobbler. Also in the city... existed a Thief, who shall be... nameless.
