Victor Mancini is a med school drop out making minimum wage as "historical interpreter" some where in New England. He has no real friends except for a one Denny(Brad Henke)who works with him. Denny also attends a 12 step program for sex addicts with Victor who is a sex addict in denial. He saves every penny and lives frugally but that's not enough to pay the $3,000 a month price tag for the care of his dear mother in a top clinic. So works part time for himself you could say. He cons rich people by choking at dinner and having them save his life. Its a rewarding experience for both parties. The hero feels needed there for sending monthly checks reliving the day every time they send a card filled with money and Vic earns enough to pay for his mother who buy the way taught him the con in the first place.
The movie is very sexual in nature and I found myself getting a little worked up watching some of the scenes at times but its not to bad falling a few steps of even a good soft porn. Meanwhile long time actor and first time director Clark Gregg does a fine job adapting Chuck Palahniuk novel which I havnt read yet but it is on my list at the libray along with a few others. I hear Palahniuk is a good read.
