  Melanie Starks and her seventeen-year-old son, Charlie, have been running one con job or another for as long as she can remember, the necessary survival moves of a single mother. But Melanie is getting sick of that life, and she's more than a little worried that Charlie is enjoying it too much.

Jared Barnett is just out of prison after serving five years of a life sentence for a brutal murder. Released on a technicality that by no means proves his innocence, Jared is feeling more invincible than ever. He has the perfect plan for a big score, but he needs Melanie's and Charlie's help. Feeling that she owes her brother, Melanie decides this will be the last job she ever pulls and agrees to Jared's plan to rob a local Nebraska bank.

Within seconds shots are fired and Jared and Charlie run out of the bank, empty-handed. Refusing to tell her what happened in those few desperate moments, Melanie realizes her brother and son have formed a silent bond. And now they are on the run from the police, taking a hostage with them and willing to do anything to survive.

When Melanie learns that four people were shot dead in the bank, she is left to wonder who did what. Who lost control, Jared or Charlie? And why did things turn so bad so quickly? Only one thing is clear: a line has been crossed.

Suddenly there's no turning back, and there is nothing left to lose.
