(1998)
During a routine surveillance on the desolate Route
9, two small town deputies Booth Parker (MacLachlan) and Earl Whitney (Williams), pull
into an abandoned farm, where they find several vehicles and the bloody bodies of several
people, all killed after a disagreement during a drug deal. They find the drugs, but in
the back of a car they also find a suitcase filled with over a million dollars, and
there's not a witness in sight.
Booth is having an affair with the battered wife of
Sheriff Hogan (Coyote), and the money will offer the couple a chance to flee together.
Earl is having his own money problems. Unable to resist the temptation, the deputies take
the money but soon find themselves at the center of a Federal drug investigation, spurred
on by the sheriff. As their planned cover-up starts to unravel, panic and a growing
suspicion of each other compel the partners to take increasingly reckless and desperate
measures as they realize their time for escape is quickly running out. |
