When his father dies, Joe (Michael Biehn) tracks down his con man Uncle Lou (James Coburn) to recover some loot Lou had stolen from his father years before. But Joe becomes ensnarled in Lou's twisted con games, and soon he isn't sure if he's playing or being played. Christopher Coppola directs this moody, labyrinthine film noir also starring Nicolas Cage and Sarah Trigger as sexy femme fatale Diane.
