In a gritty take on crime and media manipulation, two Eastern European criminals, Oleg and Emil, descend upon New York City with one objective: to collect their cut of a heist's profits. As they navigate the city's underbelly, Oleg begins documenting their every move using a stolen video camera. His footage captures both their illicit activities and encounters with NYPD Homicide Detective Eddie Flemming and FDNY Fire Marshal Jordy Warsaw, who are investigating the murder and arson of their former accomplice.Inspired by the power of the media to shape public opinion and fortune, Oleg and Emil devise a cunning plan: they decide to manipulate the story themselves by feeding the sensational footage to the local tabloid TV show "Top Story." As the narrative twists and turns, the line between criminal and victim becomes blurred, demonstrating how the media circus can exploit human drama for personal gain. The film's tension arises from the characters' duplicitous motivations, challenging viewers to question the nature of truth and perception in today's media-driven world.
