Plot Summary

Two mismatched men named Mike, one a slick, fast-talking con artist and the other a naive, earnest young man, cross paths and find themselves entangled in a series of increasingly absurd schemes.

The film follows their chaotic journey as they navigate the criminal underworld and their own personal foibles.
