Amidst the crime, Casi’s neighbor (Tim Blake Nelson), a stoner philosopher, provides cryptic advice about the impending cosmic collapse, mirroring Casi's personal and professional breakdown.

The story is a blend of a gritty crime thriller and a metaphysical exploration of whether justice can truly exist in a universe trending toward chaos.

Casi decides to step outside the law he once served. He teams up with Lea and a fellow lawyer to steal $15 million in drug money from a cartel.

The plan quickly spirals out of control as they face off against crooked cops, a dangerous cartel, and a "wrinkle" in their plan that leads to a violent confrontation.
