Albert, one of the male protagonists of the play, is single, only child, and has no fixed job. When Albert was ten years old, Vic was caught robbing a bank, and just before Vic was caught, he told Albert that kidnapping and robbing came faster than anything else, but there was a secret, that is, not to be discovered by others, otherwise there was no way out.
More than a decade later, Albert has grown into an adult, his father Wiki has been in prison, and his mother Lily has opened a flower shop to make ends meet. Albert had two particularly good buddies, Charlie and Boxer Billy.
The male protagonist, Charlie Cavendish (Rupert Grint), is a "vibrant, chaotic, very fashionable" guy who follows Albert and often helps out.
Boxer Billy and heroine Lottie (putting the pictures of the two together are of course because they are a good match), Billy is an illegitimate son, his father was killed by his people on the day of birth, and his mother was a punk singer before.
Lotty was the girlfriend of sonny, the nightclub king, and half of the customers from the nightclub were recruited by Lottie, but Sonny not only did not care for her, but also owed her several months of wages, and she wanted to leave Sonny to seek her own life.
Just then, Lotty meets Albert, Charlie, and Billy.
During a boxing match, Albert spends all his money pushing Billy to win (Billy also has the strength to win), but Sonny buys the referee and Billy loses. Albert not only didn't win money, they lost their old roots.
Loty found the three of them after the race, and Lottie told them she wanted to leave Sonny, and explained that the next day Sonny would leave with money in a car with hundreds of thousands of dollars on it.
In this way, the "three fools" prepared everything and got the route of the cash truck, but just when the car arrived, two identical cars appeared on the road. Albert decided to choose one by luck, and when they hijacked the car, they found that there was a lot of gold on the car, but what they didn't expect was that someone recorded the whole process of their carjacking and posted it online.

Albert and Charlie go to see Gold together, and Gold asks them to go to the airport to help him get the Hammer family back because they have a large bag of diamonds on their bodies. They received the Hammer family, but the family was clearly mentally abnormal. Not only did they eat ecstasy in the car, but they also sang and danced in the car. The most frightening thing was that Charles actually joined them, and the Hammer family insisted on going to the nightclub.
Just as they were having a good time, a group of men with guns appeared and snatched the Diamond from the Hemmers. The Hammers threaten albert to take them to the airport, and when Gold learns what happened, he insults not only Albert, but also Vic. Gold threatened Albert to retrieve the diamond within forty-eight hours, or he would castrate him.
Sonny gives Lotty the salary she deserves and asks about the gold robbery. Lottie didn't tell Sonny anything, but Sonny clearly knew there was something to it.
