A con artist doesn't steal money. He steals belief.
Roger Rothstein has built a luxury resort investment that doesn't exist-and seven wealthy investors are so convinced it's real that they keep demanding more money. Every blueprint matches. Every timeline checks out. Every photograph proves it.
Until it doesn't.
Jack, Ben, Sonny, Kendra, Carlos, and Valeria each saw something different in the investment-legacy, proof of worth, power, beauty, leverage, legacy-and Roger built the con around what they wanted to see. But as the seams start showing, they begin to realize they're not protecting an investment. They're protecting their own delusion.
Now the investors are pulling at threads, hiring verifiers, examining permits, and discovering that the con isn't the resort. The con is how Roger keeps them fighting each other instead of fighting him.
By the time they realize what's happening, it's too late. The summit is called. The fire at Roger's office becomes either confession or cover-up. And everyone involved discovers the same terrible truth: you can't win against a con artist because the moment you try to expose him, you've already become part of his game.
In a long con, the only real victim is the person who keeps believing.
