He just moved into an apartment complex in his hometown and has run into an aggressive neighbor complaining that Sly has been parking in his spot. The two go back and forth passive-aggressively, Sly knows he should just move on with his life but his ego won’t let him back down.
Turning into a slight obsession Sly begins to follow the neighbor as he drives around town down to the woods where the neighbor unknowingly leads Sly to an area, where, for some reason, he is burying a suitcase into the earth, Sly pins the location in his phone and goes back later that night to see what is buried, turns out the suitcase is full of money.
Sly goes back to share the news of wealth with his buddies, but paranoia sets in; the neighbor has to know they took the money. In an irrational decision Sly wheels the suitcase back to the neighbor’s car to clear his conscious but soon realizes his stupidity, he immediately goes back to find the suitcase is gone.
So Sly and the guys cook up a half-baked plan to steal the suitcase back from the neighbor but have no idea who they are up against, they get outsmarted by a man on the run. In the end, the guys give up and concentrate on winning their basketball tournament against a group of high school students.
