Jake Vig (Edward Burns) je podvodník veľkého formátu, ktorý šikovne využíva dary, ktorými ho obdarila príroda: prirodzený šarm, odvahu a schopnosti vykrútiť sa aj z tej najkritickejšej situácie. Šťastie sa však od neho odvráti v okamihu, keď prostredníctvom dvojice skorumpovaných policajtov Whitwortha (Donal Logue) a Manzana (Luis Guzmán) a navonok bezúhonného Lionela Dolbyho príde nezákonne k slušnej kôpke dolárov. Keď Lionel a Jakeov parťák Al (Louis Lombardi) zahynú, vyjde najavo, že Lionel vôbec nebol taký bezúhonný, ako vyzeral: pracoval totiž ako účtovník pre kráľa zločinu Winstona Kinga (Dustin Hoffman). Aby splatili dlh a zachránili si život, musia sa Jake a jeho zvyšní komplici vrhnúť do obzvlášť zložitého a nebezpečného podniku.

Keď však dievča vrazí do dverí s vlasmi čerstvo nafarbenými na červeno, je to prvý signál smoly, ktorá sa na partiu začne lepiť.

Juan sa pod Marcosovým vedením rýchlo vypracuje v majstra pretvárky, ktorý vie šikovne manipulovať s citmi svojich blížnych a vymámiť na nich prakticky ľubovoľnú čiastku. Pred zohranou dvojicou je teraz úloha ukradnúť a výhodne predať vzácnu zbierku deviatich známok z obdobia Weimarskej republiky nazvanú "Deväť kráľovien". Tú vlastní ostražitá dáma menom Berta. Špičkoví podvodníci rozbiehajú smrtonosne elegantnú hru, v ktorej neváhajú prekvapovať jeden druhého. Okrem pravých známok je však v hre aj ich dokonalá kópia z falšovateľskej dielne Bertinho brata Sandlera.
