On a cold Manhattan Christmas Eve, five friends attempt to pull off the perfect heist — robbing a mob-run high-stakes poker game. Desperate for a way out of their financial struggles, the crew stakes everything on this single job.
Dom, the confident ringleader, plans every detail meticulously, believing his team can pull it off clean. Mikey, haunted by family responsibilities, wants the score to secure his child’s future. Li’l Joe, riddled with anxiety, needs his cut to keep his mother in a care home. Beanzy, spiralling from his mounting debts and drug use, risks everything for one desperate chance to set things right. Trish, determined to leave her abusive ex-boyfriend, sees this as her only shot at freedom.
The heist starts smoothly, but greed and paranoia fester. Beanzy’s instability worsens under pressure, and a hidden betrayal sends their plan into chaos. Trust crumbles as members suspect each other of double-crossing. Meanwhile, Angelo, the ruthless mob boss they crossed, sends his crew to track them down.
Manhattan Heist delivers a gritty, suspenseful thriller about the cost of greed, the fragility of trust, and the price we pay when loyalty is no longer enough.
