A terrible divorce is involved, and Jason took his mother’s maiden name. 05 Is Jason guilty? Well, kind of — but not of drug distribution. The movie opens with Jason’s friend begging him over video chat to hold on to a package of MDMA for one day since it’s not smart to fly with MDMA.

Apparently the minimum sentence for being caught with that much MDMA is 10 years in prison.
