Eddie 2020 is a movie about Eddie Moretti, a charming but perpetually down-on-his-luck gambler and small-time con artist trying to navigate the shifting landscape of his beloved but gentrifying neighborhood in 2020. His grand scheme to finally hit it big and save his family's struggling, historic diner is constantly derailed by his own impulsive decisions and a streak of unbelievably bad luck. When a formidable, no-nonsense corporate developer arrives with plans to buy out every independent business on the block, Eddie sees an opportunity for one last, audacious "score." He assembles a motley crew of neighborhood eccentrics and forgotten street legends, planning an intricate, multi-layered con to outsmart the developer and secure the diner's future. The film follows Eddie's chaotic, often hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt journey, as he attempts to pull off his biggest "game" yet, learning that true success isn't just about winning, but about fighting for what you love and the community that defines you.
