DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release) They say there's a sucker born every minute ... Ever since the snake sold that apple to Eve, there have been confidence men selling dreams to the gullible and the greedy. From the smallest shell game or pyramid scheme to the biggest bank heist, they slip right by with a twinkle in their eye and a smile on their face and by the time people realize they've been had, it's too darned late. At 36, charming Jack Fallon is the best in the game. He sees the angles between the angles, spins a story better than anyone, and there isn't a trick in the book that he hasn't played and gotten away with. That is, until six months ago...when someone finally dropped the dime on him and he landed in the pen. Now he's back on the streets, assembling another team of expert scam-artists, including an all-too-eager nephew and a feisty ex-girlfriend who longs to go straight.The major difference between six months ago and today? This go-around Jack and his team are working with the FBI to expose fraud from the inside out. And they've got a babysitter in the form of federal agent Chris Van Horn, who refuses to believe that Jack has actually seen the light and is now on the up and up. From the creator of Lost and Alias comes a fun, fast-paced Ocean's Eleven-like romp through the colorful world of the big con. |
