has half a million dollars in
Cabo San Lucas, and Jackie's been
bringing it back bit by bit.

Ordell wants his money, so Jackie
hatches a plan that may get them
all off her back and make her
rich in the process. With Max's

friends, ex-con Louis (ROBERT DE

(BRIDGET FONDA) to work her
switcheroo.

with her and the money, he thinks
about it, but she leaves without
him.
