Paul, a young black con man, insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy New York couple, claiming that he knew their son in college and is himself the son of Sidney Poitier. The couple soon discovers the lie and finds that he has pulled the same trick on their friends. The play is both hilarious and painful as it explores the darker issues of family life in the 1990s.
