The con is on!
Prewitt Paltry used to be the best con artist in NYC. But fate has left
him divorced, broke, his glory days behind him . . . And then a golden
opportunity falls into his lap.
Ranger du Courtemanche is the aging patriarch of the centuries-old
French aristocratic Courtemanche family. Despite the filthy-rich façade,
the family's fortune is quickly dwindling and their ancestral chateau is
secretly in ruins. Enter Prewitt, who cozies up to the reclusive
family - Ranger and his two sisters - and warns them that their chateau
and wealth have been targeted by an ancient secret society. Panicked and
desperate, Ranger enlists Prewitt in the fight to defend his family's
honor and fortune. Et voila! The trap is set.
With the help of an eccentric team of wacky French con artists, and
three Corgies, Prewitt gets to work. But, the closer he gets, the more
the con unravels. Ancient betrayals, priceless jewels, and forbidden
loves . . . the Courtemanches turn out to be a lot more than Prewitt
bargained for.
