Variety.com described the plot of the film after speaking to Paramount Pictures and wrote:
"It follows Amber (Cardi B's character), a small-time crook who finds herself in over her head when a heist goes wrong. On the run from the cops and her former crew, she struggles to find anywhere to hide. Running out of options, Amber disguises herself as an elderly woman and hides out in the one place no one will look — her estranged grandmother’s nursing home."
The mum of one had previously acted in Hustlers alongside Jennifer Lopez but the new movie will be the first time she takes on the lead role.
