Gary is a ticket scalper, and not just any scalper but the best in the business. But he has two problems: a seemingly wealthy competition who is willing to pay way over the odds to beat Gary to tickets, and his ex-wife who wants him to go straight. Although separated, Gary and Linda are still attracted to each other, and things come to a head when Gary faces the scalp opportunity of a lifetime: tickets to see the Pope give a mass in New York.
