Overnight, Frank Cain's net worth skyrockets from $121.98 (and a beat-up Vespa) to nearly $5 million. This occurs after Frank, dealing with a personal loss, takes a break from college to pursue a new career - selling yachts. After a harsh adjustment to the real world, Frank discovers that dreams really do come true with hard work and luck. Especially luck. Frank's unusual windfall results from the fact that during a global financial panic, very wealthy people do things with their money that they wouldn't ordinarily do. While taking a victory lap in a posh Mexican resort, Frank uncovers the truth behind his newfound wealth when his best friend is kidnapped and held for an unusual ransom that Frank's money can't buy. In order to save his friend's life, Frank has to outmaneuver some very smart people: corrupt Mexican officials, contract killers, and one of the richest men in the world - Mr. Suarez - who owns a New York based trading empire that is on the verge of collapse. Frank is aided in this journey against all odds by his friends Libby and Jack as well as a cast of quirky, but stand-up, characters. If you like sarcastic humor and explosive endings, you will not want to miss this fast-paced romp through New York City, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta.
