Plots(1)
Two ruthless drug dealers--an African-American man (Michael Beach) and a white redneck (Billy Bob Thornton)--commit a brutal mass murder in Los Angeles and are forced to flee the state. When their beautiful accomplice (Cynda Williams), who's also the girlfriend of the white outlaw, begs to go home to Arkansas, they continue on to Texas to sell their wares. She returns to her hometown where she has a 5-year-old boy living with her mother and brother. Apprehended there by local lawmen, and faced with the impending arrival of the drug dealers, she and the married white police chief (Bill Paxton) are forced to confront the secret of their shared past, turning this crime thriller into a powerful melodrama about racial identity.
