Plot

A down-on-her-luck woman hatches a bold plan to kidnap the body of former U.S. President James Buchanan, believing it will lead to a hefty ransom. Her scheme quickly spirals out of control as she discovers that the public's interest in the deceased president is shockingly low. As she navigates the absurdity of her situation, unexpected challenges emerge, forcing her to confront her own motivations and the lengths she'll go for a chance at financial stability. What begins as a heist turns into a darkly comedic exploration of desperation and the value of history.
