"The talented Zettelmaier scores a hat trick with a near-perfect script that fully unleashes his comedic instincts." -- Between the Lines
Set in Cincinnati, this riotous comedy follows three childhood friends and one provoking girlfriend as they try to commit the crime of the century...robbing the warehouses of Kenner Toys where the motherload of "Star Wars" figures can be found.
Dave, computer programmer and avid "Star Wars" fan, plans the heist from his mother's basement (where he still resides) with the help of Max, Carter and Kendra. When things go awry, friendships are tested and each faces the most important decision of his life. Not even lightsabers or Jedi knights can save the day for these "Star Wars" geeks.
