A gritty 1970s crime drama following Vietnam veterans struggling with trauma and economic desperation as they plan an armored car heist, anchored by themes of brotherhood, loss, and the moral cost of survival.

On the streets they call cash dead presidents. And that's just what a Vietnam veteran is after when he returns home from the war only to find himself drawn into a life of crime. With the aid of his fellow vets he plans the ultimate heist -- a daring robbery of an armored car filled with unmarked U.S. currency!
