As Kaitlin Nest, a Credit International bank teller, wraps up her shift, a customer named Tripp Kennedy asks to break a $100 bill into a precise set of coins. While she engages with him, the bank is simultaneously taken over by two distinct groups of criminals: three high‑tech professionals—Darrien, Weinstein, and Gates—and two unmasked rednecks known as “Peanut Butter” and “Jelly.” The professional trio aims to crack the vault, while the duo focuses on the ATMs. A bystander, Jack Hayes, is fatally shot, and a firefight erupts across the bank. In the chaos, Tripp throws himself into the middle of the situation, convincing the criminals to rob the bank at the same time rather than separately. The trio confines Tripp, Kaitlin, and a group of hostages in an upstairs kitchen, while Peanut Butter and Jelly struggle to breach the ATMs with a cache of weapons-grade explosives.

Tripp manages to slip out through the ceiling into the main area and begins to uncover clues about Hayes’s death. The trio’s attempts to reach the vault keep failing, and their access is repeatedly blocked by a series of mishaps that reveal their identities to the hostages. When Tripp sneaks into the trio’s workspace to press for answers about Hayes, Weinstein reveals that the bank’s security system had been deactivated and rebooted just before their arrival. Tripp confronts Mitch Wolf, the bank’s computer technician, who admits he sold information about the reboot to the criminals. Mitch’s panic during a bathroom break triggers a cascade of dread—he vomits, and Weinstein retrieves medicine for him. Meanwhile, Gates grows closer to Peanut Butter and Jelly, and the three men compare their standings on the FBI’s most‑wanted list, including the elusive Vicellous Drum.

Peanut Butter and Jelly enlist the hostages’ help in detonating their explosives, and Tripp volunteers to search Hayes’s remains for clues. He soon discovers that Hayes was an undercover agent carrying an FBI‑issued firearm, which raises the stakes for everyone involved. Tripp deduces that Weinstein must have killed Hayes, and he, Darrien, and Gates search for Weinstein, only to find him and Mitch both fatally wounded. With Darrien dead after a failed attempt to obtain a key and a blowtorch rigged to explode, Tripp uncovers a crucial clue—a clicker—recovered from Weinstein’s mouth, suggesting that Weinstein played a double game and turned on his co‑conspirators.

Frustrated, Gates joins forces with Peanut Butter and Jelly and devises a desperate plan to use their explosives to break into the vault one last time. Tripp escapes captivity again and persuades Jelly to reveal that Vicellous Drum is the duo’s point man, who sent them all to the bank via a fax. Tripp steals Jelly’s gun and trades for the missing clicker, also obtaining a fax that Gates and the trio received from Drum. He realizes that Drum orchestrated a simultaneous ambush designed to eliminate everyone inside the bank. The revelation grows darker when a Swiss bank representative, found dead in a cupboard, also possesses Drum’s fax, underscoring Drum’s reach and manipulation.

As Tripp tries to warn Gates that the robbery is an organized trap centered on Drum, Gates dismisses him and detonates the explosives, finally forcing the vault open. The surviving criminals begin loading their haul into duffel bags while the hostages watch in stunned silence. A paranoid security guard, Mr. Clean, arms himself and urges caution, but Tripp and Kaitlin hatch a counterplan: they cut the lights to lure Drum into a moment of vulnerability, hoping the night‑vision goggles Tripp had found earlier in the bathroom will expose the ambush. The plan works, and the theft’s façade collapses as Drum’s true identity comes to light—Mr. Blythe, Kaitlin’s hypoglycemic bank manager, is actually Vicellous Drum.

Drum shoots Mr. Clean and Gates before cornering Tripp in the bathroom. When Drum’s deception is exposed, he tries to bribe the remaining hostages with money, but they turn on him and fatally shoot him. Peanut Butter and Jelly capitalize on the distraction and claim the majority of the money for themselves, making a quick escape to Cancún.

The next morning, the bank buzz begins to settle. Tripp is seen receiving medical care from an ambulance crew, while Rex, a loan officer, speaks to reporters and Madge, a bank teller, discusses compensation with management. A group of officers helps Kaitlin load what appear to be wedding gifts into her car. Tripp follows Kaitlin and discovers the gifts are filled with large wads of money, wrapped with currency straps. He learns a startling truth: Kaitlin is not just a victim of circumstances—she is Alexis Black, the FBI’s third‑ranked most wanted bank robber. In a moment that blends danger with romance, Tripp confesses his love and proposes that they team up for future nonlethal heists. Kaitlin agrees, revealing that she plans to reform, and the two drive off together as a new criminal partnership, united by affection and a shared vow to avoid bloodshed.
