Soon, the transfer takes the shape of a chaotic ride fueled by drugs, criminals, and, of course, danger. Having no idea how to deal with it all, Mark and Davis must do whatever it takes to complete their objective, and the first step towards that is to accept that it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the ”shitheads” one meets during the journey. Currently in the scripting stage, the movie is yet to begin filming.
