Longtime New York con man Gary (Garcia) is a king among scam artists but a loser in life. The only thing he has going for him is Linda (MacDowell), a stunning chef-in-the-making with a soft spot for underdogs. But even Linda isn't a sure thing when she's accepted into a Parisian cooking school, and decides it's time to leave the city and Gary! Now this streetwise hustler must pull out all the stops and turn on all the charm if he ever hopes to win his way back into her heart!
