History abounds with tales of the great museum heists, from the Louvre’s Mona Lisa heist of 1911 to the Gardner Museum, Boston, heist of 1990.
Kevin Ang harbours no such great ambitions following in the steps of these daring men: all he wants to do is steal a million-dollar smartphone prototype from Singapore’s Museum of Design so he can sell it to the highest bidder.
In order to do that, he enlists the help of three accomplices – Alvin the museum security guard, Khai a former Special Ops officer and Lisa, a tech expert who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend. Besides helping Kevin out with the heist, each of these individuals have a shared, and usually checkered, history with Kevin.
As the heist progresses, Alvin, Khai and Lisa discover just how checkered their history is with Kevin when things take a turn for the worse.
The trio realize that they signed on for more than they bargained as the plot unravels with twists and turns in a brand new telemovie that combines drama, comedy and action, featuring the talents of Gurmit Singh, Keagan Kang, Pamelyn Chee, and Sani Hussin. Also featuring Vernetta Lopez, Shane Mardjuki and R. Chandran.
