A frenetic, darkly comedic crime caper built on rapid-fire dialogue, interconnected schemes, and escalating chaos among small-time crooks and hustlers.

A card shark and his unwillingly-enlisted friends need to make a lot of cash quick after losing a sketchy poker match. To do this they decide to pull a heist on a small-time gang who happen to be operating out of the flat next door.
