Synopsis
Eddie (Sam Rockwell) and Paul (Ben Schwartz) are a couple of low-level petty criminals, who are working out their parole in a New York diner. Enter British lawyer Katherine (Phoebe Fox), who offers them ready cash to come to London and intercept a valuable package in transit. The duo arrives in London, team up with their British confederate Tommy Tresham (Al Weaver) and snatch the bag in the main hall of the Natural History Museum. This puts them on the wrong side of psychotic local villain Deacon Bradshaw (Peter Ferdinando) and his boss Arkardy (Peter Polycarpou). They learn that Arkady and Bradshaw are planning to steal a fabulous gem called the Blue Iguana and decide to stake out Bradshaw's pub in a bid to nab the gem for themselves.

Production
Hajaig has stated that the film is his homage to American indie movies of the 1980s:
The film was shot in London. One large sequence was shot in the main hall of London's Natural History Museum.Шаблон:Citation needed The 35 mm format 4k Arriflex Amira camera was chosen, as its adaptability served the indie look the film makers strove to achieve. Director of photography Ian Howes worked to ensure the film maintained a filmic and analogue styling to reference American indie films of the 1980s.[2] Londoner Peter Ferdinando maintained Deacon Bradshaw's South Yorkshire accent on and off the set throughout the shoot.[2] Sam Rockwell's attempt at a Cockney accent is a key running gag.[2]
