Marc Ward is quitting his job as a traveling salesman with $30,000 dollars in the bank and one year to figure what he’s going to do with the rest of his life. He’s 53.
His last week is tying up loose ends and introducing his replacement, a kid named Eddie Kent, to the territory.
Eddie Kent is a con man. He’s not even Eddie Kent. He got into Marc Ward’s car with no idea who Marc was or where he was going. He was running. He’d done something horrible.
And he’s going to do it again.
The story is told twice, from different perspectives. The first time the audience is with Marc, going through the day-to-day routines of leaving a job and training a replacement. And like Marc, they get conned. They are as much Eddie’s victim as our main character.
From there, the story begins again but the perspective is unhinged. Shaky, frantic camerawork brings them inside Eddie’s mind as he plots, schemes and maneuvers. They see the con devised…executed…
And the terrifying moments where it goes wrong.
