A twitchy, hyper-contemporary comedy with equal doses of laughs and panic attacks.

Blue-collar Midwesterner Mike Alvarado attempts to save his family from the throes of poverty by investing their savings into speculative cryptocurrencies. However, as his investment strategy decays into a full-blown gambling addiction, he sends his life into a nightmarish anxiety-inducing downward spiral, compromising his relationships with his girlfriend, his Down syndrome brother, and his recovering addict cousin. 

“Wildly funny… Daley's script treats all the characters with empathy and complexity.” Peter Martin, Screen Anarchy

“A brutally honest portrait of lower-income life in Midwestern America, shining a realistic light on harrowing situational struggles with heart and outlandish humor.” Bianca Piazza, Movieweb

“Positioned between the Safdie Brothers ‘Oh, dear God, this can’t possibly get any more stressful’ model and something like WEDDING CRASHERS or BRIDESMAIDS, with gross-out gags galore. Captures something true about life in the United States in the first quarter of the 21st century.” Matt Zoller Seitz, Roger Ebert.com
