American Schemers

American Schemers

Roommates and lifelong friends Kara and Oly have been making their way in New York City in the same shared business: robbing the homes of the recently deceased under the guise of 'cleaning.' But when a death in the family erases all possibility of going straight, the pair has no choice but to embark on their most daring score yet: impersonating the heir of a large estate who hasn't been seen by his family in 15 years. Unfortunately, they aren't the only ones who have their eyes on the will. Enter a conniving lawyer, a drunkard aunt and a naive author, who make for a much messier - and funnier - situation than expected. Written by lead actors Michael Waller and Sydney Blackburn, American Schemers is a relentlessly charming throwback comedy, packed with double entendres, mistaken identities, door-slamming, musical numbers and even a good old-fashioned cream pie fight for good measure.
