Burdened by mounting financial problems, the ne’er‑do‑well Guido stages a fake armed robbery at his workplace, a scheme that lands him in jail. A year later, with only a few days remaining before his scheduled release, two dangerous inmates force him to join their audacious jailbreak. Now a fugitive, Guido races to locate his partner Antonella, who helped plan the robbery and continues to keep the stolen money.
