Movie description:
Eddie Parker, his wife Tracy, and their 12-year-old son Mitch lead blue-collar lives on the outskirts of America’s pleasure capital, Las Vegas. Former compulsive gamblers, the couple carefully try to hold on to their »normal« existence – Eddie works at a used tires shop while Tracy waits tables at a diner and tends to her small desert garden. Despite Tracy’s efforts to keep the fragile family life together, when an elusive stranger pretending to be a marine just back from Iraq shows up claiming there’s something special about their home, his extravagant offer quickly turns into the family’s obsession. The only question is, how deep are they willing to go?
The film takes place away from the glittering strip of mega casinos, but the greed of Sin City is just as pervasive on the desert outskirts. This is where a happy family learns of a forgotten fortune that may be buried beneath their home. Their lives are turned upside down. A sophisticated study of just how far people are able and willing to go if faced with the tempting prospect of easily acquired wealth.
