Private Project

THE HEIST

A couple of small time crooks decide to rob a small jewelry store in the quiet town they live in. Things go sour and not as planned after they realize they have very little talent or experience in the field of robbery.
The cop that patrols the area has his own dark plan and will stop at nothing to execute it. They all have one thing in common, STUPIDITY. The situation gets really complicated for them all when their paths cross on what becomes the worse day of their lives.
