Between stealing bicycles and breaking into cars, Denny’s only social outlet is spending time with his mother. Driven by loneliness, he signs up for a pen pal service through a classified ad. He begins writing letters to a woman named Tess, whom he develops feelings for and lies to about his nonexistent wealth and success. But the pen pal service is a scheme that Tess and her real-life boyfriend, Maury, run to take advantage of the lonely. So when Tess and Maury find themselves in financial trouble of their own they decide to travel to meet Denny and take him for all he’s worth – and find upon arrival that things aren’t what they seemed in his letters.
