However, things quickly spiral out of control as their scheme begins to unravel. Frank and Ian find themselves in over their heads as they struggle to keep up with the mounting pressure and the increasingly complex web of lies they've woven. With the entire world believing they are in grave danger, they must navigate their way through a series of comical and absurd situations to maintain their charade.
