Two undercover narcotics officers' cover is blown and the Mexican cartel has kidnapped their families. To get them back they must do the unthinkable for the next 24 hours. The rules are simple: No guns, no bombs and no witnesses. They must become The Lawless.

An eccentric bored housewife masterminds a heist, enlisting her hapless nephew and his flat-broke friend. Her obsession with social media brings about unexpected results. This dark comedy captures the way social media alters our perception of others and even ourselves. BOOKED is about the risks some people are willing to take by exhibiting their lives; it illustrates how easy it is to get trapped in a narcissistic and miserable state by seeking virtual attention. Where should one draw the line between acceptable and excessive?
