Synopsis:

Maggie is a newly single, junk-food-binging shoplifter looking to change her life and her self-hating ways. Paul is her passionately convicted compulsive-overeating sponsor in a twelve-step program for recovering thieves. Maggie's jealous ex-boyfriend is a charismatic wannabe small-time thief named Flaco who spins a grammatically challenged but persuasive yarn about $750,000 in unprotected drug money sitting in a safe in a downtown disco guarded by an easily distracted crackhead. This dubious and ragtag would-be criminal crew is rounded out by Flaco's new girlfriend, Boochieâ"a topless dancer who refuses to let her troubled childhood or her third-grade reading level stand in the way of her inevitable path to fame, fortune and fur. When things don't quite go according to plan, this bickering quartet of hapless thieves wind up at the mercy of Louie "The Little Tuna" Pescatore, a reluctant heir to the criminal empire run by his fatherâ""The Big Tuna"â"who has left him in charge for the weekend.

The struggle for self-awareness and self-acceptance produce a high-octane battle for survival in this crime caper comedy filled with laughs and heart.
