A neurotic, agoraphobic con artist with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder is thrown into chaos when he learns he has a teenage daughter. His carefully ordered world is upended as he tries to connect with her, all while he and his partner are setting up their biggest scam yet. His new paternal instincts begin to conflict with his criminal lifestyle, making him question everything he does.
