The cast includes Clifton Davis and Corbin Bernsen.

Ever since her husband died in a bank job gone bad, Greta has been battling with herself about how to escape the only life she’s ever known – and the only place she’s ever thrived. The problem is, she’s good at this. She’s looking for a big score, a lump of money she can use like a gun to shoot her and Angie out of this life and into another one. Meanwhile Hunnam will play Leo, a brilliant master thief who sees all the angles and specializes in plans with no guns and no violence. Like a chess player, he thinks three moves ahead. Other crooks think he’s a coward, especially compared to his father Tommy, who went to jail for murdering the most feared man in the city, Teeg Lawless. (Variety)
