A theater group of people with disabilities does not manage to raise funds it requires to represent the USA at a theater festival for the disabled in Macedonia. Help comes in the form of a crime family with drug smuggling interests that has to ship an especially large consignment to Macedonia. The impossible partnership between the criminals and the disabled actors. who are in the middle of rehearsing Romeo and Juliet, leads to some zany and absurd situations.
