Premise

The film is a biopic of the fugitive Jeffrey Manchester, a former United States Army Reserve officer, known colloquially as Roofman due to his propensity to steal from branches of McDonald's after entering their premises via the roof and evaded capture from police by hiding in the roof of a Toys "R" Us store.
