What starts as a harmless trip down memory lane quickly turns into a wild and reckless idea: pull off the ultimate heist. Their target? A famous painting displayed at a nearby gallery.
The twist? None of them has the faintest clue how to commit a crime. Fueled by nostalgia and more than a few drinks, the group laughs off the idea as a joke-until Mark, the overachiever of the bunch, shows up with a meticulously crafted plan. Life has grown a bit too predictable, and with their personal lives unraveling, the friends decide to go through with it-because really, how hard could it be?But as they stumble through their amateur heist preparations, they uncover a shocking truth: the painting they plan to steal isn't just any fake-it's one they painted together in college during a prank.
