A successful cryptocurrency trader juggles the market, her reputation, and relationships that could jeopardize the deal of a lifetime.

Written by Lisa N. Edwards

Synopsis

Feature Film – Dramatic Thriller – The Big Short / Molly’s Game / The Wolf of Wall Street / Seven / Uncut Gems

COINRUNNERS is a dramatic thriller set inside the cryptocurrency industry, through the emotional cycles of the market itself.

On stage, Lisa teaches people how to trade. Controlled, confident, and self-made, she appears to have mastered a system built on risk, perception, and emotional discipline.

The story she tells reveals how she got there.

When she crosses paths with Nikolas, a charismatic and unpredictable trader, their connection is immediate and dangerous. 

Together, they build a global brand from nothing, riding the explosive rise of the crypto market into untold wealth. But as the stakes rise, Lisa begins to suspect the truth behind the curtain. What started as disruption is now deception. 

Nikolas has weaponised their relationship, their community, even Lisa herself, as a pawn in the biggest scheme of all. Part rise-and-fall thriller, part toxic love story, COINRUNNERS  is a high-stakes dive into the illusion of control. It’s a story about ambition, betrayal, and the cost of believing in someone who was never playing by the same rules. 

Fast-paced, stylish, and emotionally charged, this is a story for our time, where love is leveraged, trust is traded, and the real crash is personal.
