When B-list movie actress, Dani Diego, witnesses a suicide in Cabo San Lucas, she attracts the attention of two local detectives, a handsome investigative reporter, and a crime boss named Bone Crusher, all leading to huge rewards for Ms. Diego if she can survive one more night.

SYNOPSIS:

It’s December 2019, and a counterfeiting ring in Mexico starts releasing the new U.S. $20 bills a month early, where few people know what Harriet Tubman looks like. Meanwhile, B-list movie actress, DANIELA (DANI) DIEGO (28) from Los Angeles, pummels her two-timing producer boyfriend, REX WELDON (50), and escapes to Cabo San Lucas for spring break using his time-share suite. There, she is the only eye-witness to a body falling from a luxurious penthouse at the resort. First to arrive at the scene is ERNESTO REYES (30), a handsome investigative reporter, with his curvy camerawoman, THERESA (26). Ernesto is smitten with Dani, but more tension than love is in the air. Resort night manager, MIGUEL (50) and a sultry maid, ANA (18), the counterfeiters, arrive next to quickly hush up what they call a suicide. Ernesto’s father, Chief Detective ALPHONSO REYES (64) and his overweight partner, ROBERTO (35), arrive next and find the victim has no fingerprints. A murder investigation ensues. Ernesto convinces his father that Dani is a private investigator who could help solve the case.

The murder investigation hits several snags. The police need DNA evidence to ID the body. And distractions arise when the phony American money starts showing up around town, especially because Harriet Tubman looks more like Oprah Winfrey. Things get worse when an elderly crime boss known as “BONE CRUSHER,” shows up to his penthouse in a power struggle with the head counterfeiter, a mysterious crime lord known as LA MANO (The Hand). Then Rex arrives at the resort to avenge Dani and meet with the vain La Mano planning his autobiographical movie. Dani, Alphonso, and Roberto go undercover at the resort to trap the two most-wanted men in Mexico.

Dani thwarts one kidnapping event by La Mano’s henchmen, before being captured by Bone Crusher’s men. She offers to uncover information about the film meeting between Rex and La Mano in exchange for her freedom. However, when Rex is captured by Bone Crusher’s men, La Mano’s men take Ernesto and Theresa as leverage against the local authorities.

When Alphonso learns that his murder victim is La Mano, Dani uses his severed head to quell a blood bath from La Mano’s many supporters. Bone Crusher plans two escapes from the penthouse, but Dani chases him down on the beach, and Alphonso arrests him. Alphonso figures out how Dani killed La Mano the previous night and why she couldn’t afford to let Bone Crusher get away. All along, Dani knew about Rex’s meeting with publicity-seeking La Mano and about the price on La Mano’s head, dead or alive. All she had to do was survive to tell about it.
