But things don't go quite according to plan...
"...Alternately tragic and hysterical, the 'High Life’ perfect plan ends up anything but when one of the bank’s employees double-crosses them all. Set against the nostalgic back-beat of 'Three Dog Night', 'Creedence Clearwater Revival' and a raft of 'April Wine', the 'High Life’ highwire tension unfolds with calamitous results..."Union Pictures will release "High Life" across Canada, rolling out January 15 in Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Calgary and January 22 in Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton and Halifax.
