A darkly comedic and unconventional crime story unfolds in the frigid landscape of Alaska, where a desperate travel agent, burdened by debt and a loving commitment to his wife who lives with Tourette’s, attempts an elaborate insurance fraud scheme involving a recently deceased, unclaimed body. This isn’t a polished heist; it’s a chaotic, deeply awkward scramble fueled by good intentions and escalating mishaps, hampered not only by ruthless hitmen also seeking the frozen asset but also by the protagonist’s own increasingly improbable lies. The film distinguishes itself through its sensitive portrayal of a marriage navigating the daily realities of a neurological condition woven into the fabric of a fundamentally absurd, yet strangely heartwarming, criminal endeavor. It explores themes of financial desperation, the lengths one goes to for family, and finding moments of genuine connection amidst utter chaos, offering an unexpectedly tender core within a wildly offbeat premise.
