A lighthearted British heist comedy built on the clever premise of criminals breaking out of prison to commit a robbery and then returning, driven by camaraderie and comedic scheming rather than darkness or danger.

Three criminals plan to break out of prison the day before their release in order to carry out a daring jewel robbery, intending to establish the perfect alibi by returning to jail afterwards. First however they must get out, a task made more difficult by a new, stricter prison officer.
