Melanie Starks and her seventeen-year-old son, Charlie
have been running one con job or another for as long as
she can remember. Worried about Charlie, though, Melanie
is ready to start over. Then her brother, Jared, reappears
in her life.
Released on a technicality, Jared Barnett is just out of
prison and feeling more invincible than ever. He has the
perfect plan to rob a local Nebraska bank, but he needs
Melanie's and Charlie's help. Feeling that she owes the
brother who saved her from an unspeakably violent
childhood, Melanie agrees to Jared's plan.
But within seconds, shots are fired and Jared and Charlie
run out of the bank. They are empty-handed and four people
are dead. When they refuse to tell her what happened in
those few desperate moments, Melanie realizes her brother
and son have formed a silent bond. And now they are all on
the run from the police, taking a hostage with them and
willing to do anything to survive.
