Against the backdrop of the 1977 Edinburgh Film Festival, two low-budget filmmakers attempt to talk up some finance as they hunt for cash, cast and ‘name director’ Sam Fuller to shoot their Aberdeen-set oil-boom adventure ‘Gulf and Western’. Along the way, they encounter a plethora of filmmaking luminaries including Wim Wenders, Stephen Frears, John Boorman, Bill Forsyth and Alan Bennett.

Buddy McCoy and out of work trucker, has been spending all of his time partying and raising hell, a round of good luck in a contest puts Buddy's butt in a brand new Mack truck so buddy takes his partying ways on the road! His misadventures lead him cross country raising hell. Often Buddy would get into a brawl that resulted in some guy putting a boot to Buddy's face, and Buddy would then have to - ever so politely - remove it with his fist! Women he would pick up might try to overstay there welcome.. trying to stick around for more than one night and Buddy, - ever so gently - would have to let them down and be on his way to the next. On a journey to try and find himself.. Buddy certainly has "ONE HELL OF A TIME"!
