Pot of Gold

A “Meehan Brothers” FILM
WRITTEN BY Chad Meehan

Three friends, two guys and a girl get a tip off of where there is a cannabis plantation on the West Coast near a lake. They take a van and plan to take a few plants, nobody will miss just a few plants and they can make some serious money. They find the crop and the plants are looking ready to harvest, they spend the day cutting down plants and filling up the van. At the end of the day they take the plants to a little shack to hide them. Very impressed with the haul and knowing that there is still so many more just sitting there waiting they change the plan and decide to go back the next day to get some more.

As they make their way through the bush to the plantation they discover they are not the only ones there, and hiding in the scrub they see the owners of the crop discussing who has ripped them off. They witness the murder of the guy who tipped them off. Now they know the danger they are playing with and they make their way back to the van only to find it has been discovered. Now they are being hunted and must get to the van to retrieve the phone that could identify them to the growers.

A plan to get back to the van goes awry and with one of them captured things get really interesting. Can the three friends trust each other and where does loyalty ultimately lie? With the growers more than willing to kill them their weekend changes from seeking a fortune in weed to desperation and survival.
