While no story details have been given, the story is said to be in the same vein as 1990s action-thrillers like Speed and Bad Boys.

That film followed two brothers who commit a robbery to pay for their mother’s life-saving operation.

When they realize they can’t use the getaway car they had planned, they steal an ambulance, learning that there is a dying patient awaiting a heart transplant and a hospital intern.
The brothers must decide whether to go back to the hospital and save the patient’s life, while risk getting caught, or continue their getaway.
The script has been making the rounds for quite some time now, with Israeli directors Navot Papushado and Aharon Keshales (Big Bad Wolves) once set to direct.
