Film Description:
Ethan, an agoraphobic marijuana grower in Vancouver, BC, stumbles upon a groundbreaking strain of marijuana dubbed ‘The Holy Grail’ that eradicates fear. However, his creation falls into the wrong hands when samples are obtained by gangs worldwide. One fateful day, three rival gangs converge on Ethan’s home, triggering a chaotic showdown. Amidst the chaos, Ava, a hitman with an unconventional penchant for a pink bear costume, consumes the Holy Grail and undergoes a transformative journey from killer to pacifist. As the violence escalates, Ethan and Ava find themselves reluctantly teaming up to survive. Hiding out in Ethan’s bathroom, they form an unlikely bond while navigating the deadly game of cat and mouse with the gangs. United by their shared ordeal, Ethan and Ava emerge from their sanctuary, only to face their ultimate adversary, Miguel, in a climactic showdown. With fireworks exploding both metaphorically and literally, Ethan is propelled into a journey beyond his confined world as he embarks on a mission to rescue his sister and confront the consequences of his creation.
