Logline: In the midst of a poker room raid, a schizophrenic poker player unexpectedly reunites with a former acquaintance. As they're thrust into her clandestine underground delivery service, they find themselves fugitives alongside her 11-year-old sister, all while evading pursuit with a fortune in pilfered medication.
Synopsis: In a realm where imagination blurs the line between reality and fantasy, Tommy, a recluse with an uncanny knack for poker, forms an extraordinary bond with an imaginary 6-foot statue of Michelangelo’s David. His solitary existence takes an unexpected turn during a police raid on his underground poker den, leading him to cross paths with Cali, a daring beauty, and her audacious younger sister LG.
Enticed into their world of illicit deliveries and perilous alliances, Tommy becomes captivated by LG's irreverent spirit. When a high-stakes operation goes awry, they seize a cache of stolen medications worth a fortune – $1 million to be precise. Amid Cali's aspirations to sever ties with their criminal past, Tommy pledges to safeguard them. However, as they approach the pivotal moment of selling the goods, a perilous trap awaits.
Caught in a tense standoff, LG inadvertently becomes the focal point of danger. While Tommy's fantasy companion, the Statue of David, materializes, he finds himself paralyzed with indecision. In this pivotal moment, it's Tommy who must relinquish his daydreams, confront his fears, and rise to the occasion to rescue the newfound family he holds dear.
