Synopsis of Great Pretender

A series of unfortunate events have led Makoto “Edamame” Edamura to embrace the life of crime: pickpocketing and conman to make a living. However, after scamming a seemingly clueless tourist, Makoto discovers that he was the one deceived and, to make matters worse, that the police are now after him. While fleeing from him, he meets the tourist again, who turns out to be another scammer named Laurent Thierry, and ends up following him to Los Angeles. In an attempt to defend his self-proclaimed title of “Japan's Greatest Swindler,” Makoto challenges his rival to determine who is the best swindler.

Accepting the competition, Laurent leaves them in front of a huge mansion and states that his target will be the biggest mafia boss on the West Coast. Jumping from city to city, Great Pretender follows Makoto's efforts alongside the cunning Laurent and his motley associates in the world of high-stakes international fraud. Soon, Makoto realizes that he has more than he bargained for, as his self-proclaimed abilities are continually tested.
