Captain, Technician, Doctor, Guard
Three years ago, tragedy struck. C’s young son was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive respiratory illness. As the clock ticked and medical bills mounted, C desperately looked for enough money to pay for an experimental treatment.
Now, driven by the idea that more money means less problems, C has started a gang of the most notorious bank thieves in the nation, The Cut Wrist Crew. Their target, the Personal Identification Implants of the ultra-rich. Surgically embedded into the wrist, the PII is a highly-encrypted, impenetrable device which carries all of its users’ financial information. With the country’s economic disparity at an all-time high, The Cut Wrist Crew’s uncanny success in stealing from the rich has unexpectedly turned them into the popular face of the poor man’s rebellion.
All is running to plan with their heists until one member of The Crew goes rogue, jeopardizing the whole operation. With an impending divorce and the ghost of his past failure haunting him, C’s financial security blanket, and sanity, are wearing thin. Now more than ever, he needs to keep The Crew going.
