Nicolas Cage is Roy, who makes a living as a con artist, tricking people into handing over their savings to him and his partner Frank. Unfortunately, his numerous neuroses and nervous ticks become completely uncontrollable when he runs out of his prescription pills (for which he has no prescription), so he has to consult a psychiatrist, who encourages Roy to contact his daughter, whom he has never met because his pregnant wife left him after a failed marriage 15 years ago. After the teenage girl moves in with him, and displays an interest (and talent) in his profession, he has to let her help with the next swindle, which leads to complications and a surprising twist at the end.
