Ben Ormand and Mark Bianculli serve as the executive producers.
The official logline reads: "A crew of social media-savvy bank robbers broadcasts their daring heists, unaware that their growing viral fame has put them in the crosshairs of a veteran FBI agent and a brilliant software engineer. Despite the unlikely duo closing in, the crime ring pushes past their limits, putting everything on the line for their beliefs – and their most ambitious heist yet." The film is the latest to follow the same theme as 'LifeHack,' which centers on four young adults who devise a plan to steal cryptocurrencies from a tech billionaire.
