## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Another day, another scheme where the art heist mostly serves as decoration for the protagonist’s midlife crisis. Crunch Calhoun, a low-rent daredevil with a loyalty problem, gets dragged into stealing a priceless book by his even slimier brother. Somehow, the plan involves less actual planning than a grocery run.

**Mood tags**: playful, unhinged
