Life hasn’t been easy for Nancy this past year.  After divorcing her unemployed husband, and setting her alimony payments, he won the lottery.  Her children are running her life and her job as a Chicago-area publishing editor is in dire jeopardy because she hasn’t found a new client in some time.  But things are finally looking up!  She has been in contact with Vladimir Flamenco, a Russian self-help author, and he is thinking of allowing her to publish his books in English!  So, when he demands an advance of seventy-five thousand dollars, Nancy approves the advance, only to find that Flamenco was a complete fraud and has run off with her company’s money.  Now, Nancy’s boss is demanding she get the manuscript, get the money back, or go to prison! So, with the help of her friend, Beth, Nancy sets out to get the money from the only person she knows with an extra seventy-five thousand, her ex-husband, Gary.
