Delancey Birzin

Floyd has never won Lotto. Nor has he won at OTB. He's a middle-aged flunk floundering from temp jobs to performing magic tricks in the street to earn a buck. His life consists of his therapist, his nursing home bound mother and B.S. sessions with other late bloomers. But on the day before his 40th birthday, he decides to take charge of his life and pursue his first career as a magician. He soon realizes, however, that due to his allergic reaction to rabbits and ineptitude for children, his future in birthday party magic seemed quite ephemeral. Upon meeting Lulu, another life wanderer, Floyd steps up his act for adults and decides to supplement his income by incorporating a wallet disappearing trick into the act with her as his assistant.

Gagner son premier million de dollars en quelques semaines, c'est tentant. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui attire tous ceux qui travaillent dans la "boiler room" de JT Martin, ce lieu incroyable ou se démènent d'ambitieux jeunes pour vendre par téléphone n'importe quel placement, même a ceux qui n'en ont pas toujours besoin, en prélevant au passage des commissions exorbitantes. Pour Seth Davis, dix-neuf ans, l'occasion est trop belle. Avec ce job, il pourra faire fortune mais aussi regagner l'estime de son père, et même oublier sa tentative ratée de monter un casino clandestin.
