Slick telemarketer Penny (Vince Vaughn) is out of a job after the current operation goes belly-up. He is approached by Caitlin (Julie Ormand) who offers him a telemarketing job for her boyfriend, legendary telemarketer Kelly Grant (Ed Harris). Penny does have a conscience, of sorts, and so is suspicious of the current offer of selling shares in a gold mine. But he takes the job, which results in bonus checks. Caitlin even makes a play for him. Is this a legitimate deal or another crooked scheme like the one that sent Kelly to jail in the past?
