Lucky tells the story of Hap McSweeney (Gunnar Sizemore, Ben 10), a leprechaun cursed with horrible luck after a dragon stole his family’s pot of gold many years ago. While on a field trip to the mansion of the luckiest and most mysterious man in Fortune City, Houlihan (Mark Hamill, Star Wars), Hap and his three best friends Shannon (Kira Kosarin, The Thundermans), a hotheaded elf; Sammy (Ron Funches, Trolls), a gentle giant; and Reggie (Flula Borg, Pitch Perfect 2), a wild gremlin, stumble upon a particularly familiar pot of gold and must form a plan to pull off the ultimate heist to steal back the McSweeney gold and restore the family’s luck.
