About

Down-and-out Weslake is reduced to minding the counter at a San Francisco pawn shop when he stumbles onto a scheme by some of the boss's disgruntled misfit clients to rob the place. Rather than blow the whistle, however, he insinuates himself as the heist's mastermind.

This heist flick ditches the typical professional thief trope for a ragtag group of misfit shoplifters and pawn shop regulars. Instead of a calculated robbery, you get a chaotic scramble led by a desperate man trying to outsmart his own employers.
