 An aging ex-con man, desperate to secure the best care for his wife diagnosed with dementia, involves his daughter, a struggling artist, in one last swindle that spins out of his control. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels meets Matchstick Men.

“THE LAST CON is a charming and playful take on serious themes, with exciting yet relatable characters and a satisfyingly bitter-sweet resolution…Give its limited characters and locations, this is a low-budget project with the potential to launch talented actors’ later-in-life careers and that could co-star a name as Ellie, their 34 -year-old struggling-artist daughter.” – Blacklist Reviewer
