No one in her family pays her any attention, and society, as a whole, ignores her. Hence, Connie decides to join her closest friend JoJo’s (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) shady coupon club. Together, the two closest buddies defraud dozens of companies out of millions of dollars.
But not until their grand con is too large to remain covert. Law enforcement is actively pursuing this fraudulent coupon club and is prepared to prosecute both of these ladies if necessary. The scam got so huge that a postal inspector and a loss prevention officer had to get on the case.
