Plot: When small-time con artist Roy Dillon lands in the hospital after a scam gone wrong, his estranged mother, Lily—a veteran gambler who works for a brutal bookmaker—shows up on his doorstep. Tensions explode when Lily clashes with Roy's ambitious and seductive girlfriend, Myra, who is searching for a partner to pull off high-stakes confidence games. As the three grifters weave a dangerous web of greed, manipulation, and double-crosses, their competing cons hurtle toward a fatal collision where family ties offer absolutely no protection.
