Sue can't wait to get out of the dead-end cotton mill town she's called home her whole life in South Texas. She's taking her passion for detective paperback fiction off to college where she'll be joined by close friend the wide-eyed Bobby. He has a crush on Sue but is unable to act upon it. That's because Bobby's best friend is BJ, Sue's boyfriend. Only BJ isn't going anywhere and he knows it. He has no college prospects. He'll be left behind.
When BJ steals $20,000 from his dimwitted boss Griff to bankroll one last night out together with his friends, a poor Mexican employee is scapegoated and Bobby, looking to protect BJ, takes the blame. This only heightens a hopeless situation as Griff is soon demanding the trio heist the money that a gangster Big Red launders through Griff's business. Dutch Southern's screenplay is very much a homage to Oklahoma crime writer Jim Thompson and Bad Turn Worse, directed by siblings Simon and Zeke Hawkins, spirits in the oppressive mood of desert noir where characters too broke and out of ideas in a rundown environments abandoned by love and industry turn to crime as a salvation and find something much worse. They find each other. 2013 COTTON BALE FILM LLC.
