ABOUT A MISTAKE INCOMPLETE

An incompetent thief,
a hopeless bartender,
a dead stranger,
and a lonely tourist.

An incompetent thief makes another attempt at burglary. A hopeless bartender struggles to manage her last patron. The pair reluctantly work together to figure out why a man they presumed dead may have returned, while a lonely tourist inadvertently gets in the way.
