WAYNE and DAHLIA MALLOY are gypsy travelers on the run after stealing money from the extended family bank. The couple has raised their three children CAEL, DI DI and SAM to take pride in conning people, diligently teaching them the tricks of the scamming trade. But when an unfortunate accident provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they obtain the identity of a well-to-do family and transform themselves into “The Riches.”
Seduced by the idea of a bigger life for themselves, and armed with the keys to a new house in a posh neighborhood, they soon find that suburban life is more twisted and challenging than any of their previous stings. To survive in the straight world, they must convince suspecting neighbors, classmates, co-workers and car-rental clerks that they really are normal. But the most daunting task: the Malloys must convince themselves. Can this family of con artists really pull this off?
