Synopsis

When a high-stakes heist becomes their only hope of escape from the life they know to the life they want, four women with nothing to lose, brought together by fate, must take a stand! Bound by a shared vendetta, they join forces to pull off a daring heist, but their alliance is tested when each one reveals a hidden agenda to betray the others.

What starts off as a collaborative strategy slowly breaks apart when the plan is put into action. Betrayal, personal grudges, and hidden motives begin to emerge. In the meantime, stress, criminal activity, underground trade, and pressure from outside sources permeate their surroundings.

In addition to the actual heist, internal issues put the women's partnership to the test: long-buried truths begin to surface; character connections become more nuanced than they initially seemed; and the issue of loyalty takes center stage.

The real motivations of the players are exposed. Each character is forced to consider the price of their desire, the price of survival, and whether their unity can withstand pressure beyond the heist's conclusion or not.
