Amy Schumer stars as Emily Middleton, who cajoles her divorced doting mother Linda to accompany her on a non-refundable vacation to a posh resort in Ecuador she booked back when she had a job and a significant other to come with her. It's fun for the ladies at first, with Emily meeting hunky suitor James and Linda enjoying the poolside with a good book. Sure enough, as warned not long after arrival, the two tourists end up getting "snatched" -- kidnapped -- and put up for ransom by a fierce Colombian drug lord. Now it's up to the helpless mother and daughter to try to figure out a means of escape.
