Summary The setup: two men board a plane for the Greek island of Skios. One is the distinguished academic Dr. Norman Wilfred, a specialist in the science of management. He is on his way to deliver the annual guest lecture at the Fred Toppler Foundation, where well-heeled guests come for the illusion of erudition along with their Mediterranean cocktails and nibbles. The other is the hapless but attractively tousled Oliver Fox, en route to a romantic assignation. Upon arrival, while Norman is distractedly texting a heated response to a negative review, Oliver allows himself to be mistaken for the professor and goes off with his handler to try his hand at impersonation. And that's just for starters: multiple mistaken identities, twin taxi drivers, and look-alike suitcases and luggage tags create growing confusion and chaos.
