The situation becomes dangerous when two cunning stamp dealers get involved, each vying for the collection. As the sisters uncover the collection's true value, they are drawn into a thrilling game of greed and deceit, where a priceless "Two-Penny Blue" stamp becomes the center of a high-stakes con. |

Roles
| Role | M/F | Age | Description | Jackie | F | 30-40 | 30-40--A young woman in desperate financial straits following her mother's death. She is initially nervous and financially desperate, but is a tenacious fighter who grows strong and determined as she battles for possession of the rare stamps. | Mary | F | 30-40 | 30-40--Jackie's estranged, well-educated, and sophisticated half-sister. She claims ownership of the stamps for sentimental reasons, as they belonged to her biological grandfather, and is highly manipulative and self-righteous in her efforts to acquire them. | Dennis | M | 30-40 | 30-40--A smooth-talking, opportunistic middleman and small-time con artist in the collectibles world. He has a charming yet sleazy demeanor and brokers the stamp deal, but his motives are morally ambiguous and he eventually shows a capacity for caring. | Sterling | M | 50+ | 50+--An older, intimidating, and ruthless high-stakes collector and shadowy dealer (often implied to be a gangster). He is passionate about stamps, desires the rare ""Blue Mauritius"" with a carnal intensity, and is willing to use violence to get what he wants. | Phillip | M | 50+ | 50+--A grumpy, by-the-book, and inflexible stamp-shop owner and appraiser. He is initially dismissive of Jackie but harbors a long-standing grudge against Sterling, which fuels his own conniving interest in the collection. |
