In a cluttered, run-down Chicago junk shop, three small-time crooks plot to steal a valuable coin collection. As the heist unravels, the men's frustration and paranoia intensify. The result is a test of their trust, friendship, and the American Dream. Mamet’s uncanny prescience makes us feel the birth of MAGA in 1975.
