Synopsis

William is a debonair Englishman celebrating his imminent marriage to Fiona, the beautiful daughter of a U.S. senator and prominent East Coast family. But William is a con man; his identity is fake and his intent is to embezzle funds from the senator's charitable organization. Unexpectedly, William realizes he has true feelings for Fiona and now regrets his predicament. On the eve of the wedding, the sudden arrival of William's unstable, estranged brother, Leonard, threatens to expose both William's true identity and his scam. Unable to convince Leonard to leave, William watches helplessly as his brother insinuates himself into the family and the wedding festivities. A long night ensues, during which Leonard's reckless behavior not only calls into question the true nature of William and Fiona's relationship, but also reveals disturbing, long-hidden truths about Fiona's family.
