Vault

Vault narrates the gripping tale of a band of small-time criminals during the tumultuous year of 1975. Their audacious goal? To execute the most ambitious heist in American history—absconding with over $30 million from the Mafia, all in the tiniest state in the nation: Rhode Island.

The story kicks off as Deuce](/actor/theo-rossi) and Chucky breach a local shop and make off with its cash. This chaotic encounter isn’t without complications; Karyn, who was working the register, isn’t pleased at being pulled into their reckless scheme. However, Deuce finds her fiery spirit intriguing. That very night, he brings her home to meet his mother, Dorothy Lyman, and sparks fly as they share a kiss.

As fate would have it, their criminal antics take a turn for the worse when their getaway driver panics during their next job, leading to their capture. Meanwhile, the local mob is ruled by Raymond, a man with a long history in organized crime. Gerry, an associate of Raymond’s and eager to climb the ranks, has aspirations of becoming a “made man,” but his requests fall on deaf ears.

In a twist of coincidence, Deuce and Chucky find themselves incarcerated in the same prison as Raymond and Gerry. Impressed by their fighting prowess during a brawl, Gerry takes them under his wing to wage war against Raymond. Upon their release, Gerry has big plans: orchestrating a heist at a fur shop that serves as a façade for the mob’s safety deposit boxes. He assembles a crew for Deuce and Chucky—comprised of Buddy Providence, Buddy Roxbury, and Buddy Barrington—all while maintaining anonymity by using first names based on their hometowns. The heist unfolds flawlessly, netting the crew a staggering $30 million in hidden mob funds.

Fast forward two months, and it seems like Deuce and Chucky have successfully evaded the law, enjoying the lavish lifestyle Las Vegas offers. But soon enough, the lavish life unravels; their team members are systematically eliminated one by one. Deuce grows suspicious of Gerry’s motives, believing he’s on a path of greed, looking to wipe out the crew to avoid paying them their promised share of $70,000 each.

The tension comes to a head when Chucky confronts Deuce with the intention to kill him. However, in a dramatic stand-off, Deuce realizes Chucky’s plan and turns the tables. An emotional reunion follows, but both men are left perplexed about their situation.

Ultimately, it is Karyn who becomes the unexpected whistleblower, leading to Deuce’s arrest. Detective Caretti informs him that Chucky was killed for failing to follow orders to eliminate Deuce. Heartbroken, Deuce confesses everything, only to be blindsided by the revelation that Chucky is alive, albeit in custody. Chucky receives a ten-year sentence for the heist, while Deuce’s cooperation grants him freedom, though their friendship is irreparably damaged.

In the aftermath, the money is never recovered; Raymond manages to reclaim his freedom, passing away in 1984. Gerry faces the consequences of his actions, serving a 10-year sentence for his involvement in the heist. Ultimately, it is revealed that Raymond orchestrated the robbery in a bid to assert control over the town. The stories of ambition, betrayal, and the high stakes of the criminal underworld culminate in a tale that is both riveting and tragic.
