The Argentine Kidnapping

Bernie’s life is on a downward spiral since he lost his job as a journalist, his fiction writing won't pay the rent, and his wife has had enough of him. But things take a real turn for the worse when he is accused of planning to hold up a big money poker game and organizing an armored car robbery. Suddenly, Bernie’s life seems unrecognizable. Then he is approached by Mr Gussling, a businessman just returned from Argentina, whose wife Claire has been kidnapped. Gussling asks Bernie to make the ransom payoff on his behalf and, desperate for money, Bernie accepts. All he wants to do is trade the ransom money for the kidnap victim and get back to his old life…or does he?
