Synopsis

Sparkler tells the story of Melba (Park Overall), who lives in a trailer park in Victorville, California and is experiencing a streak of bad luck. Her husband Flint (Don Harvey) leaves her for another woman, prompting her mother Sherri (Grace Zabriskie) to connect her with a phone psychic.

The psychic advises Melba to watch for three kings who will change her life. Soon after, Melba meets Trent (Jamie Kennedy), Brad (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and Joel (Steven Petrarca) in a bar. They are on their way to Las Vegas in hopes of winning enough money to pay their back rent. They nickname Melba "Sparkler" and she decides to join them, believing they are the kings mentioned by the psychic.

Meanwhile, Flint discovers that Melba has won a million-dollar sweepstakes, but she must claim the prize in person within 72 hours or lose it. Melba eventually makes her way to a Vegas strip club called the Crack, where she reunites with her high school friend Dottie Delgato (Veronica Cartwright) and meets the club's owner, Ed (Sandy Martin).

As Melba navigates her new surroundings, Flint is on a frantic search to find her and secure the sweepstakes money for himself.
