Full plot (contains spoilers)
Jimmy Logan, a construction worker, is fired from his job at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. He teams up with his brother Clyde, a veteran with a prosthetic arm, to rob the track's vault using its pneumatic tube system. They recruit a team: Mellie (Jimmy's sister), Joe Bang (a safe-cracker), and his brothers Sam and Fish. The heist is moved up to a busy race weekend. During the heist, the team uses cockroaches to map the tubes and a vacuum pump to steal the cash. Amidst the chaos, Clyde is briefly separated from the group, and Jimmy's plan is complicated by a malfunctioning vacuum that sucks in Clyde's prosthetic arm. After successfully retrieving the money, the team members are left with various rewards. Jimmy eventually finds peace and reunites with his friends, while the FBI investigation into the 'Ocean's Seven-Eleven' is closed due to lack of evidence.
