Here's a brief description: Dejected advertising executive Peter Brantley is carjacked when a drug bust goes bad. Facing death as a witness who knows of the fleeing dealer, Peter crashes his car and leaves the unconscious criminal on the side of a rural road. Peter keeps the gym bag of cocaine left in his car to get even with the drug dealers by ransoming the drugs back—with no intention to deliver. With a marriage on the rocks and depressed over his brother’s death from a drug overdose, Peter and his wife Mary Beth go against the odds to face a ruthless drug kingpin and a drug task force leader who are both closing in. Mary Beth, who is fighting temptations of infidelity, uses this zany plan and her support of Peter to salvage her marriage. When Peter and his cousin are seriously injured during an ill-fated attempt to con the drug dealers, Mary Beth emerges as the unlikely hero to make sure the drug dealers can never harm the couple again.
