Description

Roy and Frankie are matchstick men — con artists. Partners in crimes for years, they know each other like brothers and have perfected their games. Roy is the careful one, saves every penny. Frankie is the greedy one, always in debt, needing another big score. Roy is distracted by the discovery of a teenage daughter from a brief short marriage. She's affectionate, sweet, and wants to learn the family business. Different than the film starring Nicholas Cage, still a surprise twist ending.
