THE HEART-RACING CRIME CAPER
The team: four brilliant thieves—the conman, the hacker, the cat burglar, the muscle—and the mastermind who brought them together. The target: a multimillion-dollar ruby. The plan: orchestrate the perfect crime. But when the job goes awry, will a daring second-chance scheme put them back on top? As the stakes rise, the crime family members must calculate who they can trust…and who will stab them in the back. Packed with snappy dialogue, high-tech theatrics, and more thrills per minute than even Ocean’s Eleven can deliver, this is one heist for the ages.
“Heist zooms along at a breakneck pace and feels like a Hollywood blockbuster come to life” —BroadwayWorld
