Synopsis

Twenty years removed from childhood fame as Little Viktor in 1998’s Smoke Signals, Cody Lightning has been forced to move home to his reserve in northern Alberta. When Cody learns his wife and kids are leaving him for a younger, more successful actor, he decides it’s time to make his masterpiece— writing, directing, & starring in Smoke Signals 2: Still Smoking, with a documentary crew following his every misguided step.
