TUFF MONEY
Two municipal workers, stuck in dead-end jobs and drowning in disappointment, make a throwaway joke about robbing a bank van. But when a local mobster overhears and takes them seriously, the joke becomes a terrifying reality. Forced into a heist they never planned, the pair must navigate a spiralling chain of events that tests their morality, friendship, and survival instincts. Blending dark humor with suspense, TUFF MONEY is a sharply written tale of unintended consequences, set against a backdrop of systemic corruption and absurdity.
