to abandon the idea. This was one of Heavy D's final roles before he died. Plot Josh Kovaks is the building manager of The Tower, an upscale apartment complex in New York City that has Wall Street billionaire Arthur Shaw as its penthouse tenant. The Tower staff lose all their pensions because Josh had given the pension fund to Shaw to manage. At the time the story begins, Shaw is under house arrest by the FBI for masterminding a Ponzi scheme, embezzling up to $2 billion. Josh, his brother-in-law and the Tower's concierge Charlie, and elevator operator Enrique are fired after attempting to confront Shaw for his scheme. The FBI agent in charge of Shaw's case, Claire Denham, drunkenly suggests to Josh that Shaw has concealed $20 million as a reserve, and that he should steal it.

They then decide to lower it to Fitzhugh's old apartment using a window-washing platform. Charlie rejoins the team after realizing their presence and saves Fitzhugh from falling to his death.
