What Is Payday About?

The premise of Payday without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.

Romie and his brutally honest best friend, Pack, pool their salaries to buy a garage, dreaming of escaping their mundane security guard jobs and improving their living conditions in the village of Pickletons. Their plan to make the down payment on the garage is hilariously derailed by Romie’s romantic pursuits and Pack’s fondness for cannabis. A series of increasingly chaotic events involving violent drug dealers, a persistent charity collector, and eccentric villagers tests their friendship and their dream of a better future.

Payday 2 picks up after Payday: The Heist and widens the crew while spinning a high-stakes web of loyalty, risk, and ambition. The core crew from the earlier job is back in play, but with new dynamics: the crew includes Romie, Andrew Franklin and his cohorts pushing daring heists for Bain, the elusive operator, while the infamous Hoxton has fallen into FBI hands and is replaced by Dallas’ brother Houston. The tension between old loyalties and new leadership sets the tone as the gang dives back into crime around Washington, D.C., testing not only their nerve but how far they’re willing to go for one more score.
