Just released after doing a "deuce" in prison, swindler Myung-jin Chang is resolved to "go straight, " rejecting her hacker boyfriend's offer to set her up with an "easy-peasy" scam. When her grandmother's dementia advances to the point where she needs to be in an assisted living facility, however, MJ reluctantly decides the only way her family can afford the care is for her to run another con. Razor Robbins, a skilled hacker, sets MJ up with fake credentials and helps her establish a new identity:  Dr.
Cassandra Kim, a child psychologist who makes housecalls, serving the severely dysfunctional families of affluent Westchester County. Doing her best not to be distracted by the traditional Korean family values embraced by her mother and stern suitor, Dr. Kim finds herself unexpectedly skilled at helping adolescents in distress, despite her lack of training. The new scam ultimately lands her back in jail, but not before she establishes a special bond with a 13-year-old violin prodigy who is just as lost as she is.
