The iPhone thief just robbed an old man at the start of the feature; yet, the thief, with his quiet angst and look of desperation, feels like a victim himself in this sordid look at the underbelly of the city. Both guilt-ridden over the robbery and desperate for money, the thief is sinking fast into the quicksand of treachery when being lured into smuggling iPhones across the border with tragic outcome. Oblivious to helping advice from his loving aunt, complication arises when things get out of hand. Is the thief destined for doom, or will he ever find redemption and a way out?
