Over the course of an evening, two bumbling burglars attempt to steal a priceless painting from Fardelbear Estate.
The heist takes a disastrous turn when they accidentally kill the lord of the estate, Howard Fardelbear.
Their plans further unravel when the household throws a party in the very room where the burglars have hidden both the painting and the body.
Desperate to cover their tracks, the burglars weave a web of lies to misdirect the partygoers. But their lies work too well, sending the impressionable and self-absorbed guests down a spiral of absurd misunderstandings. Relationships crumble, tempers flare, and chaos reigns.
In a final twist, the burglars’ own lies circle back to ensnare them, driving a wedge between the pair and sealing their fates.
