Desiree, the \\u201cSweetheart Swindler,\\u201d has made off with $15,000 of 76-year-old Jim\\u2019s money. Once a millionaire, Jim lost his real estate empire during the recession, and now thanks to Desiree he has also lost the savings he worked tirelessly to rebuild. Desiree has moved on to a new mark, Doug, a veteran living in Nevada. This time around Desiree\\u2019s husband joins her in the con, approaching Doug in a parking lot and offering to come to his home to fix dents in his car. On one such visit, Desiree tags along. Eventually she starts to visit Doug on her own. Each time she enters Doug\\u2019s house she gathers information, stealing his Social Security number and other personal information. Doug, who has always been close with his sister Patty, calls her when things start to go missing from his home. Patty arrives to find Doug\\u2019s life in complete disarray. There are papers and unopened mail covering every surface of his house. Patty digs in, \\xa0finding multiple credit cards in Doug\\u2019s name that he knows nothing about. There are bills for women\\u2019s clothes, dinners, cash advances and even a car. Wracked with debt that he can\\u2019t account for, Doug is on the verge of losing his house. After talking to Doug\\u2019s home health care worker, Patty figures out that the bills may be connected to a woman who makes frequent visits to the house. Patty tries to track down this woman. Meanwhile, authorities in Texas, where Desiree has a home, are also on the hunt for her, but she\\u2019s skipped town. Little does Desiree know that her crime spree is coming to an end: Authorities in Texas have tracked her to an address in Nevada\\xa0\\u2014 Doug\\u2019s.
