When you need somebody, any body will do.
Alaska, home of the moose, of baked desserts and home to Paul Barnell (Robin Williams), a travel agent selling dreams but living in a financial nightmare. Up to his neck in debt and snow, with a foul-mouthed wife, Margaret (Holly Hunter), suffering from Tourette's syndrome, Paul hopes to solve his problems with the help of his missing brother, Raymond. In an effort to pay off his debtors and get some medical help for his wife, Paul tries to cash in on his missing brother's life insurance policy of $1 million. However, he comes face to face with Ted Waters (Giovanni Ribisi), a tough young insurance investigator. Ted denies Paul's request as Raymond has only been missing for five years, not long enough to pronounce him decreased. Paul one day accidentally stumbles across a corpse in the dumpster behind his shop. His immediate horror is soon overtaken by a crazy idea - he could pretend the corpse is his brother, claim the policy and solve all his problems.
