The Prime Gig
“Too much is never enough.”
DramaRomance
Pendelton "Penny" Wise is a smooth-talking con-artist who scams people with phoney travel comp vacations over the phone when, desperate for more fast cash, he's called to work for a shady, veteran con businessman Kelly Grant. The situation takes a turn for the worst when Penny begins a relationship with Grant's mistress, Caitlin.
VIBE
This film feels like a slick, morally ambiguous dive into the world of con artists. It's a cool, character-driven thriller with a romantic undercurrent, where everyone's playing an angle and trust is a dangerous commodity. Expect sharp dialogue and a stylish, cynical mood.
