Lincoln (Mikha’el Amin) and Booth (DeMorris Burrows) are black brothers living together in a rundown apartment. Absurdly, Lincoln is actually portraying Abraham Lincoln at a historically themed amusement park, and brother Booth is idle, dreaming of proposing to his girlfriend. Lincoln took his job after he stopped conning folks with a 3-Card monte act, but Booth is desperate to be taught how to practice this con. When Lincoln loses his job on the night of Booth’s elaborate proposal dinner, their confrontation is inevitable.
