His life takes an unexpected turn when he is approached by a wealthy and influential man with a seemingly simple request. The man hires him to travel to Italy and persuade his rebellious son to leave his carefree life abroad and return home. However, once he arrives in Italy and becomes immersed in the luxurious lifestyle of the young man and his circle, the situation begins to change dramatically. Drawn into a world of wealth, privilege, and opportunity, the grifter realizes he may be able to reshape his own life by deception.
