Lucky Number 3 (en Inglés) - Juan Pablo Ochoa

After Mateo Reyes loses his job at Greenleaf Wellness days before college begins, panic starts replacing hope. Tuition is due, bills are piling up, and the future he imagined suddenly feels impossible to reach. Angry, humiliated, and desperate, Mateo convinces his three closest friends - Xavier, Julian, and Isaiah - to rob the Pasadena cannabis dispensary chain where he once worked.

The plan is supposed to be simple: get in, grab the cash, and disappear before anyone gets hurt. But one mistake during the escape turns the robbery into a citywide nightmare. Within minutes, the group becomes the focus of a televised police pursuit racing through downtown Los Angeles beneath helicopters and flashing lights.

As detectives begin connecting surveillance footage, abandoned vehicles, employee records, and witness statements, the four freshmen are forced into hiding across warehouses, alleyways, auto shops, and river channels throughout the city.

What follows is not a glamorous crime story. It is a story about panic, exhaustion, guilt, fear, and the emotional collapse that happens after young people realize they permanently changed their lives in a single night.

Dark, cinematic, emotional, and grounded in realism, Lucky Number 3 delivers a tense urban thriller filled with high-speed chases, police pressure, fractured friendships, and devastating consequences.
