The plot concerns a drifter named Bobby (Sean Penn) who ends up entangled in a plot involving a Grace McKenna (Jennifer Lopez) and her husband Jake (Nick Nolte), also finding himself in conflict with the town mechanic named Darrell (Billy Bob Thornton).

Bobby owes a large amount of money which he is currently transporting to California. His car breaks down however, forcing him to drive to the nearest town, Superior, Arizona. He takes the money with him but leaves his gun in the trunk of his car. While waiting for his car to be fixed, he wanders around the town where he meets Grace. Not realising she is married, he hits on her and helps her carry some drapes to her car. She offers to take him back to her house where he can have a shower.

While in the shower, it is revealed that the ‘accident’ that happened to his hand was in fact a punishment for the overdue debt – two of his fingers were cut off. After his shower he attempts to seduce Grace, who is cold to his advances. He goes to leave, saying he isn’t interested in playing games. The two then kiss, where they are caught by Grace’s husband Jake. Bobby, saying he didn’t know she was married, tries to leave but Jake punches him.

As Bobby is walking back to town Jake pulls up beside him and offers him a lift. After a casual conversation about Grace, Jake asks Bobby if he would kill her for a price claiming that he is sick of her games. Bobby laughs this off and asks Jake if he’s just trying to “rattle” him.

Later on when Bobby is in a convenience store, the store is held up. The robbers take his bag with all his money in it but the shop owner takes out a shotgun and kills them both, unfortunately destroying most of the money in the process. Broke and without the means to even leave the town as he cannot pay the mechanic, Bobby frantically calls nearly everyone he knows trying to get money to fix his car. He even calls the gangster he owes money to asking him for money but the gangster angrily refuses. The gangster now knows where Bobby is and sends someone after him. Read more
