In this dark comedy of lust, deception and jealousy, a business woman persuades her young lover and his girlfriend to make a big statement by undertaking a little crime. Erin Skidmore is the owner of a realty management office who uses her young lover, Steve Enloe, for sex and odd-jobs. When Erin begins to suspect that a cult-like religious group that has moved into their strip mall is capable of violence, she conspires with Steve and his newest girlfriend, Ina, to send them an intimidating message. But as they make their plans, secrets are revealed and relationships are twisted until their scheme begins to unravel.
