Carol's twin, Christy, is having a wedding — the sisters promised that whoever got married first, the other would pay. But Carol's stressed...so stressed she wanders into the path of a speeding car. Friend Goldie gets the story: Carol's having difficulty finding the money for the wedding. So Goldie tells her about a local businessman who lends money — Mr. Juan.
We've seen that Mr. Juan is a ruthless businessman who is given to throwing guys out of windows, but neither Carol nor Goldie knows this.
Carol visits Mr. Juan and arranges a loan to be repaid out of her yearly bonus. The months go by, and when bonus time comes, Carol's company informs her that business is not as expected and there'll be no bonuses. What's more, she's going to be laid off! Now, there's no way she can repay Mr. Juan; she's discovered the kind of man he is from Goldie, who learned too late.
Mr. Juan tells Carol — that he'll forgive her debt if she goes down to Colombia and retrieves some cocaine for him. It’s either that or she dies. Not much of a choice! So Carol and her boyfriend take the trip, with all expenses generously paid by Mr. Juan.
The two have an idyllic vacation in paradise. They forge a new and more robust connection, deepening their love. Back home, the police move in on Mr. Juan — but wind up taking out a drug dealer in the same condo complex, as Mr. Juan escapes unnoticed.
Finally, the couple is contacted by Mr. Juan's operative, Mr. Mason, and given two bags containing 5 kilos each. The cocaine is hidden in a specially sealed compartment, which they are instructed not to open. Later, fearing reprisals if the cocaine is not there, they opt to open and check the compartments. The cocaine is indeed there, and they reseal them as best they can.
The next day, they get caught in a roadblock to the airport. Tense moments ensue as police search their bags, but nothing is found. Then, they discover they don't have their passports at the airport! They missed the flight out, but their passports were located in the cab and returned.
Carol books a flight for the following day and finds a hotel across the street.
The next day, they find that Carol's on one flight and Steven's on the other. Standby doesn't happen, so Carol flies out alone, and Steven stays behind. When Carol arrives home, she finds the body of her twin sister Christy — murdered by Mr. Juan, who thought she was Carol! Back in Colombia, dogs discover the cocaine in the inadequately sealed bags...and Steven is arrested!
In the end, the police raid Mr. Juan, and he's killed. Steven winds up in prison but is killed before he can be released. A hitman finds Carol and kills her — but then she wakes up in the hospital! She was hit by the car when shopping earlier and has been in a coma for ten days!
