Gordon uses a store selling bialy bread as a front for laundering money for the mafia. Reggie is a hitman for hire who kills his victims by suffocating them with a plastic bag. Patrice manages an elite art gallery that caters to the rich, but owes some money to a drug dealer, Nate, which she repays with a painting.
Nate meets with Reggie and Gordon and shows them the art piece he received from Patrice, worth $45,000. Impressed with the cost of the painting, Gordon meets with Patrice and proposes using her art for money laundering. She initially declines, but he leaves her his card. Trying to compete with Anika, a rival and flourishing art gallery manager, Patrice visits Gordon in desperation, agreeing to launder money for a cut of the proceeds, and asks for a painting to sell. Reggie, who has no art skills whatsoever, paints a random art piece which he gives to Patrice for money laundering purposes.
Mafia dons Anton and Andrei consent to money laundering via art, and Patrice calls the painter "The Bagman", a nickname for Reggie. The paintings by The Bagman sell for as high as $300,000. The Galvinsons, who are art connoisseurs, enquire about The Bagman's paintings, but are told that they are on the waiting list due to high demand for the artist's work. Patrice visits Reggie at his residence, and sees bags with red coloring on them, but does not realize it to be blood.
Patrice is able to arrange for Reggie to have his own art gallery show, and while talking about the inspiration for his art, comes to the realization that Reggie is a murderer. She undergoes shock, upset that she is involved not only in money laundering, but also in murder. However, The Bagman paintings win critical praise, and Patrice is invited to a dinner with the top mafia members, and is now considered a part of their crime family.
Patrice meets with Gordon and Reggie, and learns that Reggie prefers art to murder, but the mafia does not want to let go of him since he is a valuable asset. They finally agree to free Reggie of his obligations to them if he kills the Russian criminal, Roman Rashnikov. Rashnikov arrives by boat to Patrice's art gallery to meet The Bagman, but is killed by Reggie with a plastic bag. The bag covered with Rashnikov's blood is sold to the Galvinsons as a piece of art. Patrice tells Anton that his fingerprints are on the bag that killed Rashnikov, so she has immunity against him.
