Three women in a quiet suburb, feeling trapped by everyday life and financial struggles, hatch a bold plan to improve their futures. Burdened by rising costs and alimony, they decide to steal a large plastic ball from the local shopping center – an unusual but valuable item.

The film follows their preparations for the daring theft as they navigate their lives together, exploring friendship, strength, and the desire for financial freedom.
