Here’s a summary of the plot:

Thom, a brilliant engineering student at Cambridge University, is approached by recruiters from major oil companies. They offer him lucrative salaries and perks, but Thom rejects their offers, not wanting a career in the oil industry.
One day, Thom receives an anonymous text message instructing him to meet at a club. There, he meets Lorraine, who introduces him to Walter, the head of a salvaging company. Walter’s team had recovered a massive treasure known as “the treasure of Guadalupe”, but it was seized by the Spanish government due to legal issues.
Walter assembles a team with various skills, including Lorraine (a con artist), Simon (a logistics expert), Klaus (a computer hacker), and James (Walter’s treasure-hunting partner).
Their mission: breach the vault inside the Bank of Spain, where the confiscated treasure is stored. The vault sits beneath a large water reservoir, and any fluctuation in weight would flood it, endangering intruders.
Set during the 2010 World Cup in Madrid, Spain, the team uses the crowd noise from football fans as cover while planning their heist.
