After his failed skateboard-deck business goes bust, Ben (Bryan Greenberg, October Road) tries to be the next big thing on the runway.

With the help of Cam's cousin Rene (Luis Guzman, Traffic), who is trying to market his own high-energy drink, and their well-connected friend Domingo (Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi, Grammy® nominated hip hop artist), the burgeoning entrepreneurs set out to make it big, encountering obstacles along the way that will require all their ingenuity to overcome.
