Nicky has studied the science of human nature his whole life, and understands precisely how to earn anyone’s trust, or fool them into never noticing he’s stealing their watch, or wallet, or anything they might have that he can sell. He meets Jess who tries to scam him, but turns the tables. The two of them hit it off nonetheless and she begs Nicky to teach her what he knows about the criminal life, and he brings her in on a plan to steal from as many people as possible during Super Bowl week in New Orleans. Nicky’s actions at the end of their New Orleans trip force Jess to reassess their relationship.
