Plots(1)
An insurance agent (Greg Kinnear) is looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife (Lea Thompson), and escape the dismal midwestern weather. This self-proclaimed master of duplicity believes that salesmanship is all about selling a story - all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer (Alan Arkin), who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission: a rare violin collecting dust in the corner of the farmhouse. His attempt to con the old man spins out of control, however, trapping him in a web of deceit and moral ambiguity. (Universal Pictures UK)
