So he figures he'll shoot something on this incredibly scenic beach he knows about with his borderline catatonic brother Bailey (Mackenzie Amar), his best friend/secret crush Harper (Savanah Joeckel). But somehow, things go wrong from the get-go, as Keller gets into a fight with Harper and she drops out, Harper's sister Angela (Serenity Garcia) elbows her way in but lacks any real talent, then Keller finds himself burdened with Kruko (Perry Bruno), the only guy from film school who wants to work with him but is as clueless as he's obnoxious, Keller's mum (Shari Abdoulah) doesn't support his ambitions and wants him to get a "real job", and ultimately Bailey gets out of his catatonic-like state and wants more credit for his work.
