High school student, GIORGIA EAST (Deborah Tabone), who has been tested at genius level, has her dream of pursuing an International Degree in Finance hit a wall when her teacher, JOHN BALATRO (Antonios Baxevanidis), fails her creative writing assignment entitled "How To Rob a Bank in Ten Easy Steps". Determined to prove her teacher wrong and demonstrate that by following her ten step plan the bank can be taken for millions. Giorgia skips school, walks into a regional bank branch and holds up the teller, Isaak Misidis (Costas Mandylor) at gun point. The teller triggers the silent alarm, locking down the bank's computer systems and enacting its security protocol, also alerting the police to the attempted robbery. Called to the scene is decorated veteran Detective MAURICE ROPER (Louis Mandylor) - once a hot shot with the LAPD - and his partner, Detective TINA JOYCE (Kim King). No sooner do Roper and Joyce arrive at the bank than they set up a command center and call in the Special Weapons and Tactics Unit, preparing for the worse. Giorgia's armed robbery attempt draws the interest of local reporters, led by insatiable journalist TIFFANY EAVES (Katharine Innes) who breaks the story on the midday news. Watching the news report while grading papers at home, John Balatro retrieves Giorgia's failed writing assignment and presents it to the Detectives. With Giorgia's assignment in hand, Roper and Joyce believe they know Giorgia's plan in full and can stay one step ahead of her. What ensues is a high-paced game of cat-and-mouse between Giorgia and Detective Roper as both try to out-fox the other.
