Four thieves are killed by the police during an attempted armed robbery in Chicago, leaving behind to their widows an unresolved debt from a local crime boss. Veronica, Linda, Alice, and Belle have nothing in common but decide to join forces to carry out a heist planned by Veronica’s husband.

Oscar®-winning British director Steve McQueen teams up with Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) for an enthralling heist thriller that echoes the sensitivities of present day political movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo. Viola Davis gives a commanding performance in this blistering crime story.
