Several friends of small-time thief and drug addict Bobbie (Vincent Kartheiser) call on street-savvy thief and part-time druggie Mel (James Woods) to help him out after a vending machine theft goes horribly wrong. A kindred soul, Mel makes friends with Bobbie, as well as his girlfriend Rosie (Natasha Gregson Wagner), and invites them to come along with him and his long-suffering lover Sid (Melanie Griffith) on a narcotics robbery that will set them up for life. The robbery, which appears to be straightforward, is a huge success, but the subsequent drug sale is a disaster, and Mel and Bobbie are shot. For protection, the Reverend charges them half of their heist proceeds in exchange for taking care of them. During a desperate attempt to recoup their losses, Mel recruits the crew to participate in a disasterous, ill-advised jewelry robbery, and they become embroiled in a web of violence that spirals out of control.
