Description: The stoner comedy tells the tale of two naive slackers, Sam (Paxton) and Alex (Wyman), who are hired by a frightening cartel boss to deliver a cardboard box from LA to Vegas for the tidy sum of $10k. The boys think it’s their lucky day. Instructed not to look in the box, the duo can’t contain their curiosity and as soon as they drive off the property they pull over and have a peek. Much to their surprise and confusion, the box contains six toads. Unbeknown to them, they’re Sonoran Desert Toads aka acid toads, which when licked, get the most seasoned drug enthusiasts high out of their minds. On the road, the soaring desert temperatures cause the toads to develop heatstroke, triggering Sam and Alex to jump into rescue mode and give them CPR — and a psychedelic odyssey unfolds. Robinson will play Charles, a charming, yet terrifying crime boss who entrusts the delivery of his precious toads to the knuckle-headed Sam and Alex. When Sam and Alex fail to arrive in Vegas on schedule, an enraged Charles and his hulking henchmen are forced to intervene.
