Plot

{{more plot|date=May 2015}}

A vending machine robbery by small-time thief and drug addict Bobbie (Vincent Kartheiser) goes badly awry, and his friends contact street-wise thief and part-time druggie Mel (James Woods) to patch him up.

Recognizing a kindred spirit, Mel befriends Bobbie and his girlfriend Rosie (Natasha Gregson Wagner), inviting them to join him and his long-suffering girlfriend Sid (Melanie Griffith) on a drug robbery which should set them up for life. The seemingly simple robbery is a great success, but the sale of the drugs afterward fails badly, and Mel and Bobbie are shot.

The four take refuge with the Reverend, who charges them half of their haul from the robbery to care for them. In a desperate attempt to recover their losses, Mel involves the crew in a disastrous, ill-advised jewelry robbery. Bobbie and Rosie have an argument before Bobbie leaves. After the robbery fails, he returns to find Rosie has committed suicide via heroin.

Bobbie explodes at Mel and blames him for everything. When they stop somewhere for Bobbie to use the bathroom Mel tells Sid about his plans to kill Bobbie. When asked to buy a shovel she informs Bobbie of Mel’s plan and gives him some money. He runs away, through a cornfield as Mel and Sid drive off, finally free.
