[edit] Plot summary

Pendelton "Penny" Wise is a smooth-talking con-artist who makes a living by scamming people with phoney travel comp vacations over the phone. Desperate for cash, he's called to work for Kelly Grant, a shady, veteran con businessman. When Penny begins a relationship with Grant's mistress Caitlin, he throws common sense and caution to the wind, leaving the audience to wonder who is scamming who.
