Synopsis

Pendleton Wise (Vince Vaughn) is a gifted telemarketer of bogus products for fly-by-night companies. But when he hooks into a scheme hatched by legendary flim-flam man Kelly Grant (Ed Harris), Wise thinks his ship may have finally come in. Better yet, he's got the hots for Grant's assistant (Julia Ormond), and the feeling might be mutual. With more double-crosses than Hitler perpetrated at Munich, this gig equals prime entertainment.
