Overview
When two brothers plan a so-called simple robbery -- they want to rob their own failing jewellery store in hopes of collecting the insurance money -- they find out that even the most well-planned heists aren't easy. Complications quickly ensue, and a seemingly perfect plan degenerates into a battle for their own survival.
