What supposedly an easy matter to overcame becomes a true nightmare with the wildest boy raising hell with Michael's bride and friends, likes as poisoned spider, darts, arrow and others oddities, also Michael has a partner with the crazy Richard (Martin Short) which both are involved in a risky bet with tons of coffee beans, which the price is in freefall after they had lost the opportunity to sell for fair price, under pressure Richard finds a buyer, Michael realizes that such man is Russian's mobster, he wants wash the money paying in cash for the commodities, Michael advises against the sale, however is too late.
