- When con artist Roy Dillon (John Cusack) is visited by his Mother, Lilly (Anjelica Huston), who is also a con artist, she sends Roy off to the hospital because of a blow to the gut he suffered while working the grift. Roy's girlfriend, Myra (Annette Bening), the third con artist, comes to visit Roy, and we discover that Lilly and Myra don't get along.
