One day while checking the accounts at work, John realises that £50,000 has gone missing and he sees his world falling apart. He thinks that two men called Chris and Marcus are responsible. John calls the two men into his office and instead of turning them in to the police he comes up with a plan that will change them and their lives forever.
John, Chris and Marcus begin to make plans so that their big idea will become a reality. They attempt to work on the plan without arousing too much suspicion. The firstly need to hire some help to carry off the heist. Marcus has a connection with a businessman called Kalpesh who can help them with the guns and the men they need but wants payment up front. John has a chance of a promotion at work and uses advise offered to him to take control of the group. After Marcus looks like making a complete mess of the deal with Kalpesh, John ends up taking over.
Although the planning for the heist is starting to come together, the men's lives aren't getting any easier. John is riding high on his new-found confidence and sense of power. He is excited by the macho tasks involved in planning the heist and insists on learning to fire the guns. Kalpesh is happy to help but he wants one of his men, Riaz, to be allowed to look around the counting house. Chris finds his mum increasingly difficult to handle as her drinking gets worse and she suffers bouts of confusion and paranoia. Gina is frustrated that Marcus is getting sidelined and tells him to demand more responsibility. John gives Marcus the task of buying the masks for the heist, so Gina and Marcus go on a little trip to buy them.
Chris and Riaz are at odds with each other as tensions in the group are beginning to increase during the final practice for the heist. Gina ends up being offered a proper role in the heist and finds it hard with the decision to get fully involved. Gina and Marcus both end up reflecting on the risks they are taking and make a big decision. The team begin to worry about Chris as his movements become more and more unpredictable. Everyone tries to remain calm as the big day gets closer; they each savour their old lives for the last time before things change forever.
