In the gritty underbelly of London, two small-time ex-convicts, the weary Eddie and the impulsive Paul, find their mundane lives upended by a tantalizing and dangerous offer. Played with charismatic desperation by Sam Rockwell and Ben Schwartz, the pair are recruited by a mysterious lawyer, Katherine, portrayed by Phoebe Fox, for a seemingly straightforward heist.

Directed by Hadi Hajaig, this darkly comedic thriller crackles with tension and unexpected twists, plunging its unlikely heroes into a world of escalating violence where every ally could be an enemy and survival depends on outrunning their own past mistakes.
