This diverse crew is forced to confront their true beliefs about each other and themselves as they do the wrong thing for the right reasons.Elisa Ludwig's COIN HEIST is a fun, suspenseful and compelling thriller, told from the revolving perspectives of four teens, each with their own motive for committing a crime that will change all of their lives - if they can pull it off.
