A man running from a mysterious past is trapped in a small desert town after his car breaks down. Everybody in this town seems to have totally lost their mind and Bobby (Sean Penn) can't wait to leave. But there is a problem: Bobby doesn't have the money to get his car fixed. So when an aging man (Nolte) offers him money to kill his young wife (Lopez), Bobby seriously thinks about it. However the gorgeous young woman casts some kind of spell on him and she asks him to get rid of her husband. Thornplay plays the mechanic, Phoenix plays the town bully.
