In 1978, con artists Irving Rosenfeld and Sydney Prosser have started a relationship and are working together. Sydney has improved Rosenfeld's scams, posing as English aristocrat "Lady Edith Greensly". While Irving loves Sydney, he is hesitant to leave his agoraphobic wife Rosalyn out of fear of losing contact with their son, Danny. Rosalyn has also threatened to report Irving to the police if he leaves her. FBI agent Richard "Richie" DiMaso catches Irving and Sydney in a loan scam, but offers to release them if Irving can line up four additional arrests. Sydney opposes the agreement. Richie believes Sydney is English but has proof that her claim of aristocracy is fraudulent. Sydney tells Irving she will manipulate Richie, distancing herself from Irving.
