Recent parolee Michael Zane stops at a run-down desert motel outside Las Vegas, Nevada.

He catches a boy, Jesse, stealing from his car, and chases him back to his mother, Cybil Waingrow, whom he seduces.

The following morning, four men arrive to pick up Michael: Murphy, Hanson, Gus, and Franklin.

Murphy returns alone after shooting Gus and Michael, but hits a coyote and crashes his car, knocking him unconscious before he reaches the motel.

Michael and Jesse arrive later in a stolen car and find the premises empty except for the bodies of Peterson and his secretary.

Murphy runs them off the road, and takes Jesse hostage, telling Cybil to find Michael and the money.

As Murphy realizes that the bag is full of cut-up newspaper instead of money, he is stung by a scorpion that Michael hid inside.

The film's soundtrack consists of 14 tracks; released by TVT Records on February 20, 2001.
