I Bet Your Life

When soap opera writer Matthew Stoddard can’t convince his agent/best friend Greg that his new screenplay premise is believable—a terminal man hires a hit man to kill him, then learns his diagnosis was wrong—he decides to prove it. Matt stages a country dinner party with a “hit man” targeting a “dying” Greg. The catch: there’s a real hit man in the room, and nobody knows who it is. With the clock ticking, their secretary Stacy caught in the middle, and every twist landing with a genuine jolt, I Bet Your Life asks: who’s the con, and who’s the mark?
