<DIV><b>Attempting a worldwide insurance scam in South America, a con artist finds the natives less than friendly</b></div><DIV><BR>After more than a decade of skipping out on their debts, Lola and Barry owe a lot of money to the wrong people. To escape the loan sharks, Barry decides it&rsquo;s time for one of them to die&mdash;or at least to pretend to. As the venue for this insurance fraud, they choose Lola&rsquo;s home country, Guerrera, where death certificates come cheap and government record-keeping is sketchy at best. There is only one problem: <i>la familia</i>.</div><DIV><BR>After Barry&rsquo;s &ldquo;death,&rdquo; Lola returns to the US, leaving her husband in the hands of her family as he begins to assume her brother&rsquo;s identity. But the South-American hospitality of Lola&rsquo;s relatives soon wears thin as they realize that their lives might be easier if Barry&rsquo;s death weren&rsquo;t just an act. Conning an insurance company is tricky enough, but no matter the country, no one is more dangerous than the in-laws.</div>
