Captivated by the lure of sudden wealth, the quiet rural lives of two brothers erupt into conflicts of greed, paranoia and distrust when over four million dollars in cash is discovered at the remote site of a downed small airplane. Their simple plan to retain the money while avoiding detection opens a Pandora's box when the fear of getting caught triggers panicked behavior that quickly spirals out of control and leads to virulent consequences. Innocent people get hurt, and desperate people turn into dangerous people, as the finders of the cash-filled duffel bag go deeper and deeper into its star crossed destiny.
