They all played their own game of deception and they all played it well.
Paul was an up-and-coming lawyer that needed money now-borrowing it from his clients trust fund just seemed logical to him. Ruth needed help passing her law school final exams-stealing the answers in advance seemed like an easy way to achieve her goal.
Edward loved all those rich, single women and what they could provide him once they were married. But for some reason, all of the women he married never lived long after they whispered the words, "I do."
Patricia couldn't figure out how to scam anyone, but with Edwards eventual assistance, she could deceive like a seasoned veteran. It was no surprise that none of those involved seemed to be completely satisfied once the job was finished. The thrill was in the successful conclusion of the scheme as well as taking what did not belong to them. Even before they ended one job, they would begin planning another-and the dance would start all over again. Scheme after scheme concluded as planned, until they all ended up in Nashville. Once there and once they started to play their games against each other, something had to give-and it did.
