On the surface, Roy (John Cusack) and Myra (Annette Bening) are a loving couple, but in reality, their true identity is that of professional con artists. Having navigated the underworld for many years, Roy and Myra have never missed a mark. Roy's mother, Lily (Anjelica Huston), is also a skilled "professional" in the con game, and as she watches her son follow the path she once took, her feelings are quite complicated. Myra hopes to partner with Roy for a big score, but is rejected by him. Furious, Myra targets Lily and exposes her scams in front of the gangster Bobo (Pat Hingle). Left with no option, Lily takes off with the stolen money. Myra is dead, and Roy's instinct tells him that his mother is responsible. He tracks down the fleeing Lily, hoping she can turn herself in and change her ways.
