A darkly comic, morally ambiguous portrait of a sex-addicted con artist navigating addiction, filial duty, and self-deception with irreverent humor and uncomfortable intimacy.

A sex-addicted con-man pays for his mother's hospital bills by playing on the sympathies of those who rescue him from choking to death.
