In the midst of Lebanon’s devastating financial meltdown, where systemic graft has left the economy in ruins, banks slam the vault doors shut on countless depositors, trapping their hard-earned life savings behind an iron curtain of bureaucratic betrayal. Enter Maro, a fiercely resilient single mother, and her fiercely unpredictable sister, Dalia—two women with nothing left to lose. Together, they craft a razor-sharp, adrenaline-fueled plan: a single, pulse-pounding night of high-stakes robbery designed to reclaim what was always theirs, no matter the cost.
