The Ballad of

Jackie Sugar & Roosevelt Duvay

Synopsis

ONE IMPOSSIBLE HEIST. ONE MORE CHANCE AT LOVE.

After years of barely scraping by as a third-rate jewel thief, Jackie Sugar hatches a plan to rob the last place any career criminal would be caught dead in: the evidence lock-up at New York City police headquarters, better known as Puzzle Palace.

To pull it off, she turns to her former partner, Roosevelt Duvay, newly released from prison after their last job together. Roosevelt is determined to go straight, but making ends meet on the outside proves harder than he imagined—and walking away from Jackie harder still.

As old feelings resurface and the clock ticks down, the pair plan the most audacious robbery of their lives. Their best chance of pulling it off comes on the night of the 2016 presidential election, when the eyes of the world will be elsewhere.
