In an old station wagon, ambitious rookie conman Huey and his greying mentor Jennifer rattle from door to door, swindling money out of the drawers of unsuspecting victims in costume.
For young aspirant Huey, it’s a chance to turn his recently deceased father’s dream into reality: Huey must become a successful part of the organization.
A dream that not only means an unbearable amount of pressure for the loud-mouthed Huey, but also seems to be an impossibility. Jürgen, the deluded boss of the gang of con artists, doesn’t realize that his once successful analog system no longer works in a digital world. What’s more, Huey’s mentor Jennifer has her own plans and has no use for the garrulous Huey.
With no prospects of loot, a manipulative mentor and the growing realization that he could disappoint his dead father, Huey must face the question: despair at the pressure of responsibility, or take fate into his own hands?
