Victor's carefully orchestrated con begins in the dining rooms of fine establishments—a calculated stumble, a dramatic choking episode, a grateful rescue. The strangers who save his life feel indebted, compelled to support him with donations that ease the burden of his mother's care.
Between schemes, Victor haunts recovery meetings seeking connection, tends to his mother's fading mind, and inhabits a past at a living history museum. A darkly comic portrait of desperation, manipulation, and the fractured life built to sustain it.
