A Little Trip To Heaven

When a million-dollar life insurance policy comes up for collection, the company always opens a case. When a million-dollar life insurance policy held by notorious con artist Kelvin Anderson comes up for collection, the company sends the best to investigate...and so they dispatch Holt (Forest Whitaker), a wool-capped and beige-mannered claims investigator.

When Holt's current assignment takes him to the snowy small town of Hastings to confirm Kelvin's death, he senses deception from the start. So begins a dramatic emotional tangle with the policy's single beneficiary, Kelvin's sister, Isold (Julia Stiles), and her volatile husband, Fred (Jeremy Renner).
