Micky Kowalski made it into the movie business by fortune, he went straight from jail to the top with his first feature film "No Time For Mercy". He and his criminal friends - that he differs from a lot with his charming attitude - are on their way to the Bahamas when his agent reminds him of an environmental commercial scheduled for today. On set Michael Hausser - a critically acclaimed but financially unsuccessful director - and his crew are waiting for 6 hours already, the mood is nervous. When Micky finally arrives on set, Michael Haussers problems are just about to begin. Micky finds out he is the lead of this commercial and has to recite a monologue. Because of the fact that he can neither read nor does he even know what a monologue is he is trying everything to prevent this commercial from being shot. The situation escalates when his friends are starting to put some pressure on the crew.
