  A team of con artists travel the country, marrying rich, unsought women, only to clean them out on their wedding night. The only problem is their last mark's father happens to be a secret underworld kingpin now bent on avenging his homely daughter's broken heart. 
  After Angie Robertson's new husband disappears with over $200,000 in wedding gifts and a brand new 911 Porsche convertible, her gangster father makes it his mission to seek retribution. Alongside him is Angie's brother and heir to the Robertson empire, Sebastian, who, like his father, is eager to enact a swift revenge. 
  Meanwhile, the missing groom and his team of con artists speed along the southwestern coast, searching for the next town and rich, lonely girl they could scam out of a couple hundred grand. 
  The Wedding Bandits have been doing this for years, and they've only gotten better with time. 
  Settling in the small town of Oak County, the team starts their usual routine of finding a mark. The new target is the daughter of the town Sheriff, a sage man who came into substantial wealth in years past for an act of heroism. Unbeknownst to the bandits, as they plot and scheme a way to separate the Sheriff from his millions, Angie's brother and father have been tracking their movements, inching closer each day to their coveted vengeance. 
  And yet, despite all the secrets and malicious behavior, love manages to bud between the bandits' dauntless leader and the Sheriff's homely daughter. It seems like Cupid may have finally caught up to the traveling hustler.  
  Unfortunately, so have the FBI… 
  The mission becomes a ticking time bomb that ends in abduction, heartbreak, and murder. And the person you least expect may be the one to squeeze the trigger.

  A CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH MURDER ON THE MENU
  It's Christmas Eve, 1988 and Russell and Joe are among the guests at a lavish party in a celebrity mansion in the heart of Soho.

What could be better for a bunch of waifs and strays on Christmas Eve?
  But when a body is found in the courtyard garden before the dessert has been served, questions begin to fly. Did he fall or was he pushed? And who of the many guests and hangers-on had either the means or motive for murder?
  Hidden pasts and present jealousies all threaten to destroy a life carefully built in this festive crime caper set in the heart of London's Soho.
