Breaking In
The last two guys you'd ever expect to get away with anything...are about to get away with it all.
A lighthearted buddy comedy about an unlikely mentor-apprentice relationship between two small-time thieves, built on charm and camaraderie rather than stakes or darkness.
Professional thief Ernie takes Mike on as an apprentice, but while Mike clearly has "larceny in his heart", it will take him a long time to get as good as Ernie.
