An orphan now, and no longer able to speak, Michael soon discovers the one thing he can do better than anyone else. Whether it's a locked door with no key, a padlock with no combination, or even an 800-pound safe...Michael can open them all. It doesn't take long for him to become a hot commodity, and the best "boxman" in the business. Until one day it all falls apart, and a seemingly simple job turns into a nightmare. With nothing left to lose, he decides to go back home to find the only person he ever loved. And to finally face his biggest secretndash; the secret that has kept him silent for all these years.
