Sharp crime comedy. Nicholas Cage plays Roy, a devious, small-time con artist who is an obsessive wreck without his regular dose of medication. His latest scam with partner-in-crime Sam Rockwell appears to be going well until the arrival of Roy's long-lost daughter, played by Alison Lohman. The arrival of the new family member really freaks him out, until he unwittingly discovers that she's a chip off the old block and a born scammer too.
