Overview
After criminal mastermind Cracker Jack (Paul Taylor) and his offbeat band of cronies pull off a daring counterfeiting heist, the dubious residents of Tinsel Town all want a piece of Jack's stolen money. The stakes for Jack and his gang rise as they try to elude Tinsel Town's corrupt police chief (Gene Terinoni), FBI Agent Hal McNamara (Ed Fry), and Jack's own girlfriend, Officer Lillian Bestaway (Sharon Avendano), who hides a dangerous secret. As tensions mount and each character falls further into the web of greed, who will end up with all the money?
