Plot Summary 💣🔫

Set in Charlestown, Boston, a neighborhood notorious for producing generations of bank robbers, The Town follows Doug MacRay, a professional thief who leads a ruthless crew specializing in high-stakes heists. After a daring bank robbery, Doug and his team take a hostage—Claire Keesey, the bank manager—only to release her unharmed.

But things get complicated when Doug begins to fall for Claire, who has no idea that he was one of the masked men who terrorized her. As their relationship deepens, Doug starts to dream of leaving his criminal life behind.

However, FBI Agent Frawley is closing in fast, and Doug’s hotheaded best friend Jem refuses to let him walk away. When one final, high-stakes job threatens everything he loves, Doug must make an impossible choice: freedom or loyalty, love or survival.
