Returning to his dreary hometown as a wealthy man, Bryce (Josh Brolin) is unaware of the target his financial gain has put on his back for schemers and crooks. When Bryce swings into a local bar, he happens to meet the seductive Lissa (Reese Witherspoon), and the two are at his place by the end of the night. But by the morning, Lissa turns blackmailer by claiming she's underage. In a panic, Bryce ties her up and turns to an old friend (Alessandro Nivola) for help -- but deception is everywhere.
