Paul Barnell is an Alaskan travel agent who's over reached himself, deeply in debt the only way out seems to be making good on the one million insurance for his missing brother and, when he finds a frozen body a cunning, if dubious, plan takes shape. Paul's only problems are a wife the wrong side of sane, an insurance investigator who won't let the case lie and, worst of all, the very much alive appearance of his long lost brother. The Big White is a quirky comedy farce that though flawed, has enough idiosyncratic characters to keep you gently amused.
