The story follows con-artists Theresa, played by Debra Winger, and Robert, played by Richard Jenkins. They have spent 26 years training their only daughter, Old Dolio, played by Evan Rachel Wood, to swindle, scam, and steal. During a desperate, hastily conceived heist, they charm a stranger, played by Gina Rodriguez into joining their next scam, only to have their entire world turned upside down.
