An old detective does not want to retire. The only way out is to prove to his boss that he still can catch criminals. The problem is that there were no crimes recently to work on. Together with his retired friend he decides to commit a perfect crime himself and then quickly solve it. Real problems start when a real criminal steals money he has stolen.

VIBE

A world-weary, darkly comedic crime drama about aging out of a profession. It feels like a smoky, late-night conversation between old friends, tinged with regret and a desperate, if misguided, attempt to prove one's worth.
