Meet Roy and Frank, a couple of professional small-time con artists. What
Roy, a veteran of the grift, and Frank, his ambitious protege, are swindling
these days are "water filtration systems," bargain-basement water filters
bought by unsuspecting people who pay ten times their value in order to win
bogus prizes like cars, jewelry and overseas vacations--which they never
collect. These scams net the flim-flam men a few hundred here, another
thousand there, which eventually adds up to a lucrative partnership. Roy`s
private life, however, is not so successful. An obsessive-compulsive
agoraphobe with no personal relationships to call his own, Roy is barely
hanging on to his wits, and when his idiosyncrasies begin to threaten his
criminal productivity he`s forced to seek the help of a psychoanalyst just to
keep him in working order. While Roy is looking for a quick fix, his therapy
begets more than he bargained for: the revelation that he has a teenage
daughter-a child whose existence he suspected but never dared confirm.
What`s more troubling, 14-year-old Angela wants to meet the father she
never
knew. At first, Angela`s appearance disrupts her neurotic father`s carefully
ordered routine. Soon, however, with his own unique spin on parenthood,
Roy begins to enjoy a relationship he never dreamed of having with his
daughter. But while he develops paternal feelings for the 14-year-old, she`s
developing a fascination with Daddy`s questionable career.
