Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Their dreams of making it in Hollywood dashed following an unexpected break-up, a group of scheming independent filmmakers plot to get their picture made by stealing a case of government-issued marijuana, and returning it to the FBI for a sizable reward. Tom and his posse had it all figured out: By getting Tom's famous girlfriend to star in their latest production, they're sure to get noticed by the Hollywood bigwigs. Trouble is, Tom has just been dumped, and as a result the film has lost its one shining star. But they could still get their movie made if they could just scrape up enough cash, and a stolen stash of medical marijuana may be just the break they've been looking for. If they can only outsmart the FBI, Tom and his friends may actually have a shot at getting their movie made. Corin Nemic, David Faustino, Jason Mewes, and Edward Furlong star.
