The story

Richie Flynn Parker is a seemingly successful man living in Los Angeles, California who has just broken up with his girlfriend Maggie. He has also just been fired from his job as a health inspector when he discovers his father Nat, a cheap con-man, has a terminal brain tumor and he wants to see Richie. Richie, believing it's another con, grudgingly goes to Atlantic City to see his father who explains he has been living on five dollars a day, going to extremes to do so, such as constantly calling various radio station contests with different aliases to win things, like concert tickets he can then scalp.
