The story
Nat considers himself a fun-loving "people person" with a zest for life. His son Flynn reckons he's a shameless cheapskate con artist who ruined his childhood. On a riotous road trip across America, this is the last chance for the odd couple to disclose long-buried secrets and heal bitter wounds.
Nat (Christopher Walken) , a free-spirited con-man, and his conservative
son, Flynn (Alessandro Nivola), embark on a cross country odyssey.
The conservative son (Nivola) of a thrifty conman (Walken) begrudgingly
joins his father on the road -- after being released from jail for one
of his dad's earlier crimes.
A road movie that pits a con artist against his more conservative son.
Walken will play a conman proud of living like a king on $5 a day, and
Nivola his offspring, who had been jailed for one of his father's crimes.
