A gang of clever, cunning and conniving robbers, acquaintances of Frankie, decide to rob her bank, leading to her termination of employment due to being suspected an accessory to the crime. Unemployed, Frankie still has a life to live, and joins her friends Stony (Pinkett Smith), Cleo (Latifah) and TT (Elise) cleaning an office building at nights to pay her way. But these four women want something more. They want to get out. With inside knowledge of the inner workings of banks, the group decide to hit one, but at what point do your robbings turn into greed?
