Plot

In the unassuming setting of small-town America, two brothers, stark contrasts in their lifestyles and demeanor, along with a companion, stumble upon a windfall of fortune. Hank, the pragmatic hardware store manager, and his brother, a lackadaisical jobless man, alongside their friend, are drawn into a whirlwind of intricate deception and paranoia when they chance upon a deserted plane housing a bag bulging with $4.4 million in stolen money. Their discovery sets the stage for a delirious game of cat and mouse, as they concoct a seemingly straightforward scheme to keep the lucre if it remains unclaimed. Guided by the cunning intellect of Hank's wife, they embark on a treacherous path, attempting to outwit local authorities and conceal their newfound wealth. However, the lure of the money begins to erode their trust in one another, weaving a complex web of suspicion and betrayal. As their simple plan spirals into a chaotic whirlpool of complications, the trio find themselves ensnared in their own trap. They soon learn that nothing in their world will ever be simple again. This tale of greed, deception, and the corrosive power of easy money paints a vivid picture of the drastic lengths ordinary people might go to when faced with extraordinary circumstances.
