A vending machine robbery by small time thief and drug addict Bobbie (Vincent Kartheiser) goes badly awry and his friends contact street-wise thief and sometime drug user Mel (James Woods) to patch him up. Recognizing a kindred spirit Mel befriends Bobbie and his girlfriend Rosie (Natasha Wagner) and invites them to join him and his long-suffering girlfriend Sid (Melanie Griffith) on a drugs robbery which should set them up for life. The seemingly simple robbery is a great success but the sale of the drugs afterwards fails badly and Mel and Bobbie are shot. The four take refuge with the Reverend (James Otis) who charges them half of their haul from the drugs robbery to care for them. In a desperate attempt to recover their losses Mel involves the crew in an ill-advised jewellery robbery with Jewels (Lou Diamond Phillips) which goes disastrously wrong and the crew become caught up in web of violence that rapidly spirals out of control.
