With the derby’s centennial race just days away, security is tighter than ever, but the team’s master planner, the meticulous Jane Smith, believes she has found the perfect flaw in the vault’s defenses. As the crew navigates a labyrinth of corrupt officials, rival gangs, and the derby’s own eccentric billionaire owner, tensions rise and loyalties are tested. The clock is ticking down to the moment of the race, where a single misstep could send them all to prison. Blending high-octane action with slick, cat-and-mouse suspense, this film delivers a pulse-pounding ride through the smoky backrooms and thunderous racetracks of Mississippi, asking whether even the most brilliant plan can survive when greed and desperation collide.
