Olivia Owens watches her father prepare to marry his third wife at the Rhode Island estate that used to be her home. He cheated on her mother, threw them both out, and stripped Olivia of her inheritance. Now seventeen and broke, she refuses to accept defeat. While wedding guests sip champagne and admire the flowers, Olivia will crack open her father's safe and drain his online accounts. She has recruited high school classmates and a former teacher to help her pull off the theft during the ceremony. The handwritten password she needs sits locked away somewhere in the mansion. But complications multiply fast. A suspicious wedding guest starts asking questions. Her ex-boyfriend shows up trying to win her back. European relatives arrive with their own schemes. The bride herself seems determined to cause problems. As her careful plan starts falling apart, Olivia must adapt quickly. She knows exactly what she wants: her money back and revenge served cold.
