pro or psycho?

Six professionals have been brought together by crime boss Joe Cabot and his son Nice Guy Eddie for a heist at Karina’s Wholesale Diamonds.

They don’t know each other; they don’t want to know each other.

Each man has a job to do and each has a colorcoded name to protect his identity: Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Brown, Mr. Orange, Mr. Blue and Mr. Pink.

It’s the perfect setup — it’s planned to be the perfect crime. The orders are simple: get in, get the diamonds and then get out quick.

Two minutes max and away with the rocks that will fetch big bucks.

But the heist goes wrong. Cops come out of nowhere and all hell breaks loose. Alarms are triggered and the cops are breathing down the team’s necks.

That’s when this game kicks off. What happens next? Six professionals are out there,

on their own and put to the test. How do they handle it? The cool Mr. Professional or loose-cannon Mr. Psycho?

Now that’s your job to sort out.
