The Real McCoy
“20 guards. 30 tons of steel. A security system second to none. They said there wasn't a man on Earth who could pull off a bank job like this. They were right.”
Synopsis
Karen McCoy is released from prison with nothing but the clothes on her back. Before being incarcerated, Karen was the bank robber of her time, but now she wishes for nothing more than to settle down and start a new life. Unfortunately, between a dirty parole officer, old business partners, and an idiot ex, she will have to do the unthinkable in order to save her son.
