Cold Wallet

When a charismatic financial influencer convinces thousands to pour their life savings into a promising new token, a tight-knit group of Redditors finds themselves wiped out overnight. Fueled by anger, humiliation, and a sense of collective betrayal, they hatch a desperate plan: kidnap the person who stole their future and force him to return what he took. What begins as a ragtag scheme assembled in comment threads and direct messages quickly escalates into a dangerous game where anonymity and expertise collide with real-world consequences.

The film follows the group’s uneven members — an idealistic moderator whose leadership is tested, a burned-out teacher trying to salvage a retirement, a self-taught coder whose skills are more theoretical than tactical, and others drawn together by loss. As they rehearse their plan in late-night chats and test drives, loyalties fracture and hidden motives surface. The influencer’s polished public persona masks a volatile reality, and the team finds that pulling off a kidnapping is far more brutal, morally ambiguous, and legally perilous than any forum thread could have prepared them for.

Cold Wallet is a tense, contemporary thriller that probes the messy intersection of online identity, digital money, and human desperation. It balances pulse-pounding set pieces with sharp social commentary about trust, performative wealth, and the seductive cruelty of internet celebrity. By the time the truth comes into the open, both the victims and their would-be saviors must reckon with how far they’ve traveled from the people they once were — and whether justice, revenge, or redemption is even possible in a world run on screens.
