    All Gaila ( Lili Mirojnick, “Cloverfield”) wanted was to pick up some coke from her dealer, Lyle, and leave. But when an argument with him ends with Lyle dead on the floor, her plans for the day require some serious changes. She calls her friend Soti (Katerina Moutsatsos, “The Hangover”) to come help her, but Soti proves to be less helpful than Gaila had hoped. When Lyle’s wife Cardamosa wakes up, the three women wind up joining forces. Cardamosa hated Lyle, and knows where his stash of money is. The three of them can split the money, they just have to dispose of Lyle’s body. This is a black comedy which has some darkly hilarious moments, but it never quite gels into a cohesive whole.
