What the box says:  Welcome to Tropico, a gray little town smack dab in the middle of nowhere where nothing ever happens - until a botched robbery leaves Nick (Alessandro Nivola) 48 hours to pay up or die.  Desperate, Nick and his girlfriend Lissa (Reese Witherspoon) undertake drastic measures to get their hands on some fast cash.  Enter Nick's old college chum Bryce (Josh Brolin), a seemingly easy mark who holds the ticket to the couple's salvation.  But before long, all three people will find themselves entwined in a dangerous web of betrayal and seduction that L.A. Weekly calls "a treasure map of double crosses and hairpin turns."
