When Daniel (Jon Cryer, Hiding Out, Pretty In Pink), and Stan (Rick Stear, Astoria) discover that Richie (Rafael Baez, Empire, Shanghai Noon), one of their best friends from high school, has vanished without a trace, they set out on a "Mission From God" to Coney Island to find him. But what they discover along the way, could change their lives forever.
