The
film is based upon true events. It tells the story of
a con man, who managed to trick the entire law enforcement
system. His creativity, finesse and exceptional charm
gained far more publicity than regular attention from
the press. His story seems even juicier because of the
fact that the main character mastered the entire plot
while being in jail as a suspect in another case.
