 Plot
 
Cooper is a former tennis player on the run from gambling debts of $30,000. As he drives swiftly across the Arizona desert, his classic Ford Mustang blows a hose, and he's forced to pull off the highway to find a gas station in the Godforsaken town of Superior.There, a grungy dimwitted mechanic tells him it'll take a little while -- and cost $150 -- which drives Bobby nuts, because he has little time and less money.
He walks into town, looking for a drink while he contemplates how he'll raise the $150. Soon, though, he's distracted by the sexy Grace McKenna.
She tries to get him to kill her mean-spirited older husband, Jake. The situation gets increasingly kinky when we learn Jake is also her stepfather, having previously done something unspoken and horrible to Grace's mother.But suddenly, Bobby finds himself with all sorts of offers -- it seems Jake also wants him to kill Grace. Though he's not enthusiastic about either job, at least he knows he can pay for his car repairs -- and even pay off his gambling debts. He just needs to commit murder.
