Board the steamboat Mississippi on a journey down a river of deception. It's April Fool's Day, and a mysterious stranger,the "Confidence-Man," slithers aboard. With a silver tongue and an endless capacity for disguise, he weaves a web of scams, targeting the hopes, dreams, and vulnerabilities of his fellow passengers. Will a pious man be swayed by a promise of a utopian community? Can a cynic be convinced to invest in a cure-all elixir? As the Mississippi churns, Melville's masterpiece "The Confidence-Man" delivers a darkly comic satire on American society, where trust and truth are as murky as the river itself. Prepare to be entertained, and maybe a little unsettled.
