Storyline

A fearless crew of young bank robbers pulls off daring heists unlike anything law enforcement has seen before. Instead of keeping a low profile, they livestream their robberies and build a massive online following, turning themselves into viral sensations almost overnight.

Their growing popularity soon attracts unwanted attention. A seasoned FBI agent joins forces with a brilliant software engineer to track the criminals using the digital clues they leave behind. As the robbers chase internet fame and prepare for their biggest score yet, the investigation closes in, setting the stage for a tense game of cat and mouse where every post, livestream, and decision could be their last.
