What is the film about?

The Maplesquires are a family of scheming, conniving bandits….who are also elite, world class chefs. Join them on an epic series of robberies and heists in order to collect the ingredients for the greatest soup known to man! This ancient relic has been dug up from the distant land of 1998, a beaten up VHS tape that played on loop in the McDonalds play area.
