Plot summary
Fresh out of prison, Debbie Ocean, the younger sister of Danny Ocean, looks up Lou Miller, the partner she used to work with, and lays out a plan she has prepared. The target is the Toussaint, a diamond necklace owned by Cartier and valued at $150 million, which she intends to lift during the Met Gala, held each year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The two women put together a team of specialists: a fashion designer in debt to the IRS, a jeweler, a hacker, a pickpocket and a suburban mother who deals in stolen goods. The way in is Daphne Kluger, the actress hosting the gala that year, who has to be wearing the necklace on the night. One of the crew becomes Daphne's stylist so the team can get close to the jewel.
