He finds himself on the run in the Cayman Islands, wanted for murder. On his trail is an irresponsible team of investigators sent by his Wall Street firm, hellbent on reclaiming the millions before their clients notice its missing: his boss, Seo-yun Kim, whos committed to not only clearing her name but escaping her suffocating fiance and their pending nuptials; the investment banks collections agent, Neal Nathanson, depressed over a recent break-up with his boyfriend; and an ex-cop from Curacao, Piet Room, who has traded in his badge for spouse spying as a private investigator.
