In this action-comedy heist film, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck star as Rory and Cobby, an unlikely duo—a desperate father and an ex-convict—who team up to rob a corrupt politician. Their supposedly well-planned heist quickly spirals out of control, forcing them to go on the run. With both the police and dangerous criminals on their trail, the two must rely on wit, luck, and unexpected allies to escape.

As they navigate a chaotic series of events, they encounter a colorful cast of characters, including a determined therapist (Hong Chau) and a ruthless crime boss (Ron Perlman).
