This series follows a family of Irish con artists, Travellers from rural Louisiana. As the story begins, Dahlia Malloy (Minnie Driver) has just been paroled after a two-year stint in prison. She’s unpredictable and erratic — behavior that’s exacerbated by the fact that she’s become a drug addict while in jail. In her absence, grifter Wayne (Eddie Izzard) and their children have been continuing to con their way across the country.
