Jimmy is a conman who has been working for an insurance company in
New York City that the
FBI is investigating since it cannot pay policyholder claims following a hurricane. The mastermind of the scheme and his mentor, Marvin, is in
Cambodia. In
Bangkok, Jimmy learns from Joseph Kaspar, a partner in the scheme, that Marvin is in Cambodia, where he is involved in a casino scheme. The roads are not safe so a guide takes Jimmy by back trail to
Phnom Penh. There, he hires a
cyclo driver named Sok, to take him to his destination, a run-down bar and hotel owned by a Frenchman named Emile. He learns to trust the word of Sok when attempting to make contact as there are unsafe places and people. He meets an
NGO worker named Sophie and dabbles in romance with her while attending a rave party at an ancient temple. Marvin turns up, but the scam he is trying to put together – involving corrupt Cambodian government officials, high-ranking military and the Russian mafia – turns out to be more risky and dangerous than was anticipated. ==Cast==
