Synopsis

Hilarious situations, clever dialogue, intriguing romance and surprise twists make this breezy comedy a delight.

Soap opera author Matthew Stoddard has written a screenplay about a terminally ill man who hires a hitman to kill him and then finds out he was misdiagnosed.

Matt's agent and best friend, Greg, thinks the plot is not feasible so Matt contacts a gangster and arranges for an incognito hitman to join them at a dinner party in the country to prove his point.

Circumstances place a real hitman among the guests and the action accelerates as they try to find out who it is before the deadline.

Stacy, secretary and love interest to both men, does her best to help them solve the identity question as surprise after surprise thwarts them.

Is the whole scheme really a con game?

And who cons the con man?

And who is conning them all?

Excellent parts make this play fun to produce and view.
