Alex, a slacker art student on a fast track to nowhere, is envious of his friends who all seem to know exactly where they are going. He decides to become a filmmaker, and finds his inspiration in the eccentric Gnome - a politically active kiosk operator who is campaigning to liberate Hawaii from the domination of America. Political documentarian - how hard can that be? Alex is not prepared for the roller coaster ride that will take him from the bed of a beautiful woman to Las Vegas in a van full of film students. Against all odds, Gnome and Alex scrape together the money, a motley film crew and filming is set to begin. All seems too perfect to be true-and it is.

With only one shot of his film in the can, Alex discovers that Gnome has vanished under the pressure of fame, apparently forever. Devastated, Alex manages to get an actual, if somewhat modest, job in the very industry he has learned to love - the film business. Although taken down a peg or two, from director to production assistant, Alex has finally tasted success... and learned the impossible is possible.
