7A normal day at a bank takes a turn into pure chaos when a bank robbery takes place, with things going horribly wrong from there. The worst of which being that a SerialKiller is ''also'' inside the bank and killing people.

10!!Examples:
11
12* AsTheGoodBookSays: Given the Windows Killer's obsession with eyes and his perceived MissionFromGod, it's no surprise that he likes quoting Matthew 6:22-23 (possibly the Christian Standard Bible version).
13* TheBadGuyWins: After a GambitPileup during the bank robbery results in [[spoiler:almost all the robbers ending up dead, the SerialKiller who has been stalking the entire cast throughout (and who seemed to have been disposed of previously) suddenly jumps out of nowhere to kill the last survivor and take off with the money.]]
14* CreepySouvenir: The Windows Killer collects [[EyeScream the eyes of his victims]]. He gets involved in the plot when the BankRobbery interrupts him as he is retrieving some of his 'collection' from his safe deposit box.
15* CollidingCriminalConspiracies: It's about a BankRobbery that takes place at the same time that a SerialKiller who likes to [[EyeScream carve out and collect his victims' eyes]] happens to be in the building to retrieve his [[CreepySouvenir 'trophies']] from the safe deposit boxes. It also turns into a HostageSituation when the police catch on to the robbery taking place. And then it's revealed that several [[DirtyCop corrupt SWAT team members]] are also after the loot.
16* DirtyCop / ImpersonatingAnOfficer: It's unclear how much authority [[spoiler:Sinclair]] actually has, or whose orders he acting on, but he's certainly not clean.
17* FromCamouflageToCriminal: Several, discussed at some length.
18* JurisdictionFriction: The Feds take over from the local cops, although it's not the FBI, but the ''DOD'' who show up looking for Paul.
19* TheLastTitle: ''The Last Heist''
20* MissionFromGod: Windows believes that God spoke to him and told him to save souls--i.e. kill people and save their eyeballs, "the windows to the soul."
21* RobbingTheMobBank: Or in this case, robbing the cartel safe deposit box:
22-->'''Bank Manager:''' Do you know who owns this place?
23* SinisterMinister: See MissionFromGod above. Danny even addresses him as "reverend" after looking at his ID.
24** It's less clear why his ID (which appears to be a passport) would indicate anything about his religious status, given his the nature of his actual religious position.
