An aging hustler is taken in by a single mother after he gets out of the hospital and learns that she rented his apartment after being told he had died. Joe May ( Dennis Farina) makes his living selling movie bootlegs and cheap designer knockoffs on the street. But when his unhealthy lifestyle catches up with him, he lands in the hospital. Meanwhile, Joe's landlord assumes the worst and rents his old apartment to Jenny (Jamie Anne Allman), a struggling single parent, and her daughter Angelina (Meredith Droeger). Fortunately for Joe, Jenny is willing to share the space and invites him to live with them until he can get back on his feet. With nothing to lose, Joe is soon plotting a scam that will net him a big payday, but it isn't long before everything starts to fall apart.
