When con artists produce a reality TV show with an estate sale theme, three duped actors soon face charges of grand theft and murder, until the cons get stung at their own game.

SYNOPSIS:

Three out-of-work actors, NAN TUTTLE (24), LAURA SANCHEZ (26), and ADAM MITCHEL (28) innocently respond to a casting call for “Antiques Road House,” a reality TV show conducting estate sale appraisals. The Producer, CHARISE FONDRE (30), a French beauty, and Director, ABODI IKOYA (28) a formal Nigerian man, arrange to appraise the antiques and art recently inherited by TOMMY TAYLOR-HUGHES (24), a recluse millionaire disguised as John Lennon. The “set” is Tommy’s grandfather’s mansion guarded by SVEN GUNGERSON and a high-tech security system. The three actors roam the house armed with iPads and the latest AI-assisted antique appraisal software. Tommy becomes smitten with Nan. Several high-value items are crated and loaded into a van with GPS transmitters and drone support to be delivered to a high-end and secure auction house.

Nan is released from police custody the next morning because Tommy didn’t press charges for the actors. In fact, Tommy is waiting outside the police station, this time disguised as a homeless bum where Nan promises to bring the thieves to justice. And because the thieves didn’t find the safe containing a priceless pink diamond necklace, Tommy and Nan return to the scene of the crime. They are surprised to find Sven’s dead body in the basement, and Sergeant Kumar waiting upstairs. This time, Tommy is taken to jail, and Nan must rely on her grandpa, GEORGIE TUTTLE (75) and the others at the Hollywood retirement village to solve the case.

Nan deduces that the thieves are after the pink diamond necklace and she and Laura return to the mansion at night to see flashlight beams on the top floor. Nan is captured by Charise, Abodi, and Adam, only to learn that Laura is in on the heist. Nan is tied up, but rescued by Tommy before the police arrive. In the showdown, Detective Li accuses Nan of being the ringleader, before Nan, in Agatha Christi fashion, proves Laura orchestrated the heist, but that Tommy murdered Sven and was the evil mastermind for insurance fraud and his grandpa’s notebook of secret bank accounts. Sergeant Kumar enters with the pink diamond necklace found on Tommy’s yacht, but the notebook was never found. So why is Nan smiling?
