With the hope of a big score, two junkie couples team up to commit various drug robberies which go disastrously wrong leading to dissent, violence and murder. In an exhilarating portrayal of a “family” of professional thieves on a cross-country crime spree, James Woods and Melanie Griffith are a scheming couple who “adopt” two young lovers in order to teach them the ropes of the criminal life. Adapted from the Eddie Little novel of the same name, which was published in 1998 by Penguin Books.
