A chaotic, darkly comedic crime caper built on double-crosses and eccentric criminals, where the humor and absurdity matter as much as the danger.

An American master chemist plans to score big on a once in a lifetime drug deal. All does not go as planned and he is soon entangled in a web of deceit.
