SYNOPSIS
It
is the 1990's. At the little First National Liberty
Constitution Bank of Rhode Island, Krista Fay Floeting,
assistant to the bank president and fiancée to
the loan officer, is depressed. She gets through the
day by daydreaming away her own anxieties and suspicions
that things may not be right at the bank. Modest Clark
Delgato arrives for a meeting. An accountant conducting
an external audit, Clark has lost his voice as a stress-reaction
to his discovery that the bank has been engaged in fraudulent
activities.
The bank's unscrupulous president, Lloyd Maloney, and
his son, Loan officer, Andrew Maloney, lock Krista and
Clark in the bank vault while they figure out how to
get away with the fifty million they have embezzled.
They decide to frame Clark as a dangerous, stop-at-nothing
bank robber and Krista as Clark's former lover and now
50 million dollar hostage.
Trapped in the subterranean world of the vault, with
Clark unable to speak the truth about the embezzlement,
Krista's daydreams and fantasies become so vivid that
eventually Clark becomes a part of them too.
Meanwhile, in the world outside, an ambitious reporter,
Denise Delgado, uses their misfortune as her ticket
to fame, and ends up in cohoots with the bad guys to
literally “blow this story apart”. But Krista
and Clark are saved by Krista’s outrageous imagination
when they meet up with Death (disguised as a Hispanic
cleaning woman), who helps them escape the vault, the
bad guys, and the dangers of their former lives.
