A frenetic, irreverent stoner comedy that follows one woman's increasingly chaotic day through Los Angeles fueled by accidental drug consumption and absurdist mishaps.

Jane, a struggling but perpetually stoned actress, has a busy day ahead. She has several important tasks on her list, including buying more marijuana. Even though she already has a good start on the day's planned drug use, she eats her roommate's pot-laced cupcakes and embarks on a series of misadventures all over Los Angeles.
