After sleeping with the ex-girlfriend of The Lesbian (Gregory Smith) and gambling his way into debt, Ben’s life is on the line if he doesn’t come up with the cash fast. He has a scheme he thinks will fix everything, he just needs help from Tanner. With the help of the headmistress’s daughter Emma (Alexia Fast), the cousins start a counterfeiting ring.
