Just Play Dead

Just Play Dead is a darkly comic thriller centered on Jack Wolfe, a wealthy criminal who finds himself trapped when federal agents close in on him. Desperate to escape his troubles, Jack devises a dangerous plan to fake his death and collect a massive life insurance payout with the help of his wife, Nora.

However, Nora has plans of her own. Instead of simply playing along, she decides that Jack's staged death could become permanent-and that she could walk away with the entire fortune. To cover her tracks, she intends to frame her surfer lover, Chad, for the crime.

As Jack and Nora's schemes collide, trust disappears and every move becomes part of a deadly battle of deception. With both determined to stay one step ahead, Just Play Dead turns marriage, money and murder into a twisted game where nobody can be sure who will survive-or who will get the fortune.
