Two brothers, Gabriel and Daniel, and a fistful of friends face the Chinese mafia and have to end the Three Generations of Revenge. To survive, one of the brothers must learn the Smoke Style secrets, a little-known controversial martial art taught by The Smoke Master and his unique Cannabis fighting style - to stand a chance. The Smoke Master, a Brazilian stoned Kung-Fu movie, comes from directors Andre Sigwalt and Augusto Soares in an adventurous tale of self-determination, humor, and lots of smoke!
