THE PRIME GIG

“Too much is never enough.”

Pendelton "Penny" Wise is a smooth-talking con-artist who scams people with phoney travel comp vacations over the phone when, desperate for more fast cash, he's called to work for a shady, veteran con businessman Kelly Grant. The situation takes a turn for the worst when Penny begins a relationship with Grant's mistress, Caitlin.
