Synopsis
Kurt, a professional burglar, is unexpectedly forced into robbing a house with an inexperienced Phil. As the night spirals out of control, Kurt must figure out how to handle Phil and his quirks and become a better friend, or else they both might end up behind bars.

Character Bios:
Kurt, Male, late 20s – late 30s: Stoic, calloused, calm, and collected, Kurt does his best to handle Phil and successfully pull off this burglary.

Phil, Male, late 20s – late 30s: Takes himself very seriously, but is inexperienced and mildly oblivious. A little overly emotional, Phil has got something dark up his sleeve.

Tess, Female, late 20s – late 30s: Strong-willed and independent, sarcastic and cynical, all wrapped up in an exasperated package.
