On the brink of bankruptcy, Alaska travel agent Paul Barnell (Robin Williams, Good Will Hunting) cooks up a scheme to pass off a dead body as his long-lost brother, Raymond (Woody Harrelson, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), and then collect on his life insurance. But unfortunately, the investigator isn't buying the scam, the hit men responsible for the body want it back - so they kidnap Paul's Tourette's afflicted wife Margaret (Holly Hunter, The Piano) - and, to top it all off, Raymond shows up demanding a piece of action. So much for easy money!
