The true story of two twentysomethings David Packouz'a and Efraim'a Diveroli (Hill and Teller), living in Miami, who manage to take advantage of a little-known government project, which allows small companies to participate in tenders for contracts for the US Army. Gentlemen, start modestly, but with time raking in plenty of money, so they live like kings. The duo gets into trouble when he won a contract worth 300 million dollars to arm the troops stationed in Afghanistan. To achieve it, friends have to cooperate with the types from the "dark star" who turn out to be representatives of the US government.
