A lighthearted crime comedy built on mismatched partnerships and escalating chaos, where the humor comes from incompetence and sarcasm rather than darkness or danger.
Rory and Cobby are unlikely partners thrown together for a heist. But when it goes awry, they team up with an unusual accomplice — Rory's therapist — to outrun police, backward bureaucrats, and a vengeful crime boss.
