Scott and Usher both need money, and they need it badly. One to save his farm, the other his future. Usher is an experienced criminal and housebreaker, but Scott is a rookie – he’s desperate for cash, but petrified of the implications that his actions might have.To make enough money for their purposes, the pair must commit at least two burglaries – but when things go wrong they discover themselves capable of a degree of violence and level of treachery that lead to a climax of nightmarish proportions.
