None of their lives are going quite the way they hoped, but are they desperate enough to put those lives in jeopardy for 10 million bucks?

Of course, $10 million could also be helpful to Joe’s circle of friends, including Leon (Barrett), on the verge of losing his hardware store and possibly his wife, Cathy (McWilliams) and local police officer Benjamin “Touch” Tuchawuski (Michael Trucco), a drug addict.

This puts Joe and his family - wife Angela (Tammy Townsend) and daughter Jennifer (Ashley Olivia Fisher) - in the crosshairs of some dangerous individuals, but it offers hope: Angela has medical bills, Jennifer a private university tuition and Joe dreams of breaking free from his obnoxious boss.
