Blue Iguana

Eddie and Paul, both on parole, find themselves working at a diner under the strict supervision of Louie. While they navigate their mundane lives, Paul dreams of becoming a filmmaker, and Eddie immerses himself in comic books, hinting at his vivid imagination and escapism.

Katherine, a charming English lawyer, approaches Eddie and Paul with a lucrative offer of $20,000 each for a job in London. After some negotiation, they agree on $30,000 each but emphasize their commitment not to harm anyone in the process.

Katherine cleverly manipulates the situation by using her knowledge of Louie's conversations against him to convince him that involving her could bring trouble his way. This ensures her success in allowing Eddie and Paul to break away from Louie's tight grip.

Eddie, Paul, and Katherine embark on their journey to London, bending laws to facilitate their escape. Their arrival is marked by meeting Katherine's cousin, Tommy, and Cornelius, a quirky character with a penchant for humorous storytelling about missed Hobbit auditions.

The group's mission is to execute what seems to be a straightforward theft from a museum, aiming to retrieve a 'rucksack.' However, events take a turn when a character resembling Ken Jennings complicates their plan and causes the sought-after blue bag to disappear.

The narrative takes a twist when they come across Deacon, a menacing pub owner, and his band of bumbling followers. Dubbed 'Billy Ray Cyrus' by locals due to his unique hairstyle, Deacon clashes with the group leading to a chaotic restaurant takeover.

Amid the chaos, they discover Arkady, a sinister businessman working alongside Deacon. Arkady expects Katherine to retrieve the contents of the blue bag to settle a large debt, which further complicates their predicament.

As their situation worsens, Katherine emphasizes the risks of imprisonment if they back out of the job. Eddie, Paul, Katherine, and Tommy conduct surveillance from a vacant building, showcasing the bonds of deception deepening among the group.

Katherine learns that Arkady is after the Blue Iguana diamond, a valuable gem with a romantic backstory. The knowledge of this diamond's history adds weight to their mission, propelling them towards a series of elaborate plans to reclaim it.

In a humorous turn of events, the group faces obstacles as they try to retrieve the diamond, including being barred from a hotel due to filming issues. An unintentional explosion causes them to appear bloodied, which they cleverly exploit to sneak past security disguised as film crew.

Amidst the chaos, Paul unexpectedly captures the attention of Dawn, a savvy bartender. By falsely claiming to work for NASA, he sparks a budding romance, adding a personal stake to the unfolding chaos around them.

As the stakes grow higher, the atmosphere becomes increasingly charged with confrontations and escalating violence. Katherine finds herself holding crucial leverage against Arkady, preparing to strategically navigate through the intricate web of threats and dangers that surround them.
