[BLACKMAIL]

Veronika (Max Reeves) is the top grifter in a blackmail ring using a high-end Persian perfume shop as its front. The film opens with one of Veronika’s clients, Claudette (Emma Lieberman), opening up about her lover being blackmailed by a mysterious stranger threatening to expose their forbidden same-sex love affair. But, of course, Veronika was behind the ploy and easily convinced Claudette to pay off the blackmailer as she’ll pocket the cash. Veronika’s gift is her ability to make others trust her.
