When one pathetic man’s greatest thrill in life was policing his school’s halls, something was bound to change.
Strait-laced Richard Simon is forced to abandon his mediocre life as a high school principal when he and his sarcastic brother, Chris, unintentionally reveal to the world their father, Walter, is not only a brilliant artist, but a cunning con-artist too. Now all three men are on the run from the FBI. This amusing story unfolds when the two estranged brothers decide to reunite for a day to help their sick father get his affairs in order. Overwhelmed by their father’s cluttered home and mountain of art supplies, they mistakenly donate a painting worth millions to Goodwill.
After learning of his sons’ foolish gaffe, Walter reveals he used to run an elaborate con while working at a prestigious auction house. The talented artist would regularly switch out genuine paintings with indistinguishable replicas, moments before the art was to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Now Walter wants his boys to help him pull one last job, robbing the ruthless pharmaceutical mogul, Theodore Moore. Walter convinces his sons that this billionaire tycoon is corrupt and dangerous and deserves to be swindled. The three family members team up in hopes of making Moore pay for his crimes in a thrilling adventure filled with suspense and clever twists.
