When Owen's branch is held up by the Ghost Bandits on the week of his wedding, he starts to believe that his future in-laws (who just arrived in town) could be the gun-toting robbers.

Devine is onboard to play the protagonist, whilst Brosnan's role is unspecified right now.

Evan Turner and Ben Zazove wrote the screenplay, which is set to be directed by Tyler Spindel.
