The most cautious and fresh-faced member of the group is Alex (Dylan Minnette), who chooses their targets based on secret information gleaned from the security company owned by his unsuspecting father. Alex’s partners in crime, a desperate single mom named Rocky (Jane Levy) and her aggressively swaggering boyfriend, Money (Daniel Zovatto), are at once greedier and more reckless.
