In the depths of the depression, a small time con artist teams up with a seasoned pro to con $500,000 from a ruthless mobster to avenge the mobster’s murder of his mentor.

This story has a lot of possibilities. It could be a comedy like "The Sting" or a thriller like "The Godfather." A lot will depend on the character of the con artist.

I wasn’t sure who the mentor had the relationship with but it seems to have been clarified. It looks like something I’d enjoy seeing

The pro is seasoned but in a slump. And the man killed by the mobster was a beloved friend of the pro.
