Skin Game

To market, to market, to sell your best friend, then split up the money and do it again.

A buddy-comedy caper about two con men whose friendship is tested when their elaborate slavery-based scam goes dangerously wrong in the pre-Civil War West.

Quincy Drew and Jason O’Rourke, a pair of friends and con men—the former white, the latter a Northern-born free Black man— travel from town to town in the pre–Civil War American West. In their scam, Quincy sells Jason into slavery, frees him, and the two move on to the next town of suckers . . . until a con gone wrong leads Jason into real danger.
