How far would you go
to get rich?
What if you were desperate? What if you were
completely out of options? Would you cut in front of a sparkling, new
Mercedes on the busy L.A. freeway and slam on the brakes? What if it
were that easy?
Enter the world of Crashers...
The
con is simple: Get in a car accident. Collect the insurance blood
money. What could go wrong? That's what Shari believed when she found
herself in dire need of cash. When she meets the sexy and mysterious
Bryce, the teaches her all about how to be a "capper."
Soon,
Shari realizes that by staging more of these accidents, she'll have
more money than she knows what to do with.
But as she
becomes more and more obsessed with her strange new world, she
discovers there's no such thing as easy money. And what started out
as a simple payout soon turns into a deadly game.

“Shari, you got a customer.” Milton nodded in the direction of the strange man at the counter. Shari fluffed her hair, straightened her apron, and hurried over to him.
“May I help you?” She smiled, pulling out her pad and pencil.
“Just coffee,” he said in a low voice. His hair was so black that it looked almost blue and hung just below his shoulders. The five o’clock shadow that adorned his face made him look sexy and mystifying, sending a small shiver down Shari’s spine. He didn’t remove his dark glasses, which upon closer inspection, Shari discovered were Serengeti’s. Oh, and he has money, too. Nice!
“Coffee, sure.” She turned to get the coffee, keeping a watchful eye on him as he turned his gaze toward the window. He seemed to be waiting for someone, checking his watch and looking out the windows repeatedly. Shari poured his coffee into a white mug and placed it on the counter in front of him.
“Cream and sugar?” She smiled sweetly.
“Yeah,” he whispered before answering his cell phone. Shari brought him the tiny pitcher of cream and three packs of sugar.
“Right... Coffee shop... Ventura, three blocks west of Vineland...Okay,” he murmured into his cell phone, casually glancing around the restaurant.
Shari stood by, studying him. He was hot, gorgeous, and distant—a real bad boy. He looked up from his cell phone and raised thick eyebrows at her.
“Anything else, Sir?” she asked politely.
“No, thank you.” He pulled a pack of Camels out of his pocket and placed one in between his lips. He then grabbed a match and began to strike.
“I’m sorry, Sir, but we have to obey the no-smoking law.” Shari shook her head.
“Sorry.” He quickly put the cigarette back.
“I know, I think it’s stupid, too. But we have to obey the law, you know.” Shari shrugged and began to wipe down the counter with a damp towel.
“Yeah, sure. Obey the law, whatever you say.” He got up, tossed down a five-dollar bill, and walked over by the window, staring out into the street.
“I’ll get your change.”
“It’s okay. Keep it.” He turned back to the window.
Shari stood unmoving, transfixed. You have a boyfriend, girl!
“Hey, miss. Can we get some water, please?” a burly trucker and his companion broke her trance.
“Yes, sorry. Be right with you.” She scurried to fill two glasses with ice, noticing the mysterious man was still staring out the window. Suddenly, there was a screech of tires and the unmistakable sound of metal-on-metal as a collision was heard right outside the diner.
Shari dropped the ice on the floor and looked up in time to see a black BMW colliding with a blue Honda right in the middle of the intersection. Everyone in the restaurant was startled by the crash and craned their necks to get a better look. The man in black turned, looked at Shari, smiled slightly, and hurried out of the restaurant.
