Present/A few months
About 80% takes place in a small town in New Mexico. 35% takes place in a ranch house with a barn. There are also scenes in a diner, a trailer, and a cattle depot.
VINCENT CASTELNUEVO (30) gets burned by his partner FRANK PACELLI (30s) after a bank heist the two pull together goes bad. Let off on a lack of evidence, Vincent goes to the home of Frank's brother where his ex-girlfriend LISA (27) and his daughter TESSA (3) live. He learns that Frank sent his brother a postcard from New Mexico and steals some cash from them to get there.
In New Mexico a sheriff, GEORGE STUCKER (?), figures Vincent for a con and brutalizes him, breaking his leg and leaving him for dead in the desert.
He's found by FAYE (35) who discovers him while trying to run away from her abusive husband, KARL (40). Faye takes him in, trying to get protection from Karl. After Faye catches him trying to steal Karl's truck, Vincent stays because he's attracted to her.
Karl enlists Vincent in a scam he's been running, bringing in accomplices and giving them fake identities to rustle cattle with him. Vincent breaks into the Sheriff's station, looking for information that Stucker has on Frank. But the driver's license Stucker has on Frank doesn't match his picture. Frank was running the same scam Karl roped him into. Karl admits that he and Frank were working...
