THE CON IS ON . . .
Prewitt Patry used to be a brilliant con man, the best in the Big Apple. But that was then. Now, with his glory days behind him, he’s a struggling single dad just trying to get by. Until a golden opportunity falls into his lap.
Ranger du Courtemanche is the aging patriarch of the ruthless and corrupt Courtemanche family. Despite Ranger’s filthy-rich façade, his ancestral home is secretly in ruins and his fortune quickly dwindling. Playing on the old man’s pride and paranoia, Prewitt convinces Ranger that the Courtemanche family has been targeted by an ancient secret society. And the family is determined to spend the last of their fortune in a desperate (and ludicrous) fight to defend their fortune and honor against this fictitious foe.
As Prewitt’s lies take on a life of their own, the huckster forms a strange bond with his wacky aristocratic marks until a new enemy rears its head. Can this cast of eccentric misfits all work together to give this hilarious heist a happy ending?
