 Gabe, a brilliant film school graduate, wants to make a noir movie, but there s just one problem: no one wants to give him funding. After a chance encounter with laundromat thief Gideon, Gabe knows what to do: he and his crew will shoot their movie guerilla style, robbing convenience stores, filming the whole thing and then explaining afterwards to the people they ve just robbed. There s just one little problem: Gideon starts keeping the money (hey, old habits die hard). Now the filmmakers are wanted felons, with the police hot on their trail.
