Two men are making an independent film, Smokescreen. They borrow money from a loan shark in order to finance the post production, but when the time comes around to pay him back, they have no money. While on the run from the loan shark, they peel a game sticker off of a coffee and realize that they've won some cash. However, it isn't enough to pay back the loan shark. They decide to gamble it and make enough to pay back the loan shark. They end up at a casion in the middle of the desert, only to find that at this casion they bet on the lives of people within the film industry. However, they also find that their own stocks are frozen.
