Skills Like This

The day before his 25th birthday, Max Solomon faces the awful truth that he will never be a writer. In a desperate attempt to find his next artistic endeavor, he turns to crime and pulls off a great feat. His newfound talent ignites a passion within him and sends his two best friends on their own journeys. Tommy, the slacker, is inspired to enter the job market, and Dave, only too aware of the consequences of grand theft, becomes obsessed with writing the perfect apology letter. It may not be the time to fall in love, but when Max meets Lucy, it's decision time. In this inventive comedy, over the course of three days, three friends have their lives turned upside down when one of them realizes that larceny might be his best skill. "Skills Like This" is a fast and furious comic ride about the lengths to which the disaffected will go to achieve their dreams.
