Plots(1)
The unbelievable but entirely true story of four friends (Evan Peters, Barry Keoghan, Blake Jenner and Jared Abrahamson) living a routine existence in Kentucky, who brazenly attempt one of the most audacious art heists in US history. Determined to live lives that are out of the ordinary, they plan the brazen theft of some of the world’s most valuable books from the special collections room of Transylvania University Library. But not everything is as it seems, and as the thrilling theft unfolds, each of them starts to question whether their attempts to inject excitement and purpose into their lives is simply a misguided attempt at achieving the American Dream.
