Barry Pepper plays Matty Demaret, the son of a mob boss. But he is used as little more than an errand boy. His relative and friend Chris (Andy Davoli ) shares this urge to be part of something bigger, and Matty finally convinces his father to give him a job, with the help of his father's right-hand man Teddy (John Malkovich ). Matty and Chris get their friend Johnny Marbles (Seth Green ) to fly up to retrieve a bag full of money for Matty's father Benny "Chains" Demaret (Dennis Hopper ), as there have been mysterious shortages in their money lately.On the way back with the money, Marbles stops in a small Montana town to refuel his personal plane and misplaces the bag accidentally. He calls Matty and tells him the news. Matty, though extremely upset, knows that he must fix the situation quickly and quietly if he ever wants to work for his father. Matty, Chris, and their friend Taylor (
Vin Diesel ) fly to the small town ofWibaux ,Montana to help Marbles search for the missing money. The bag of money is found by two local teenage skateboarders.While in town, Matty and the other guys attract the attention of two local law-enforcement officers (
Tom Noonan andShawn Doyle ) who find out about the money and want to keep it for themselves. The mob guys then try to negotiate with the officers to get the money back but are turned away. Matty calls Teddy and Teddy arrives in Wibaux with two other mob henchmen. Chris decides to leave for home and disappears. Marbles hangs around in a bar with the two mob henchmen who secretly hate him, while Taylor and Matty wait in their hotel for word from the Sheriff. After taking him outside in a friendly manner, the two mob men throw Marbles to the ground and ask about the whereabouts of the other three. Marbles tells them he doesn't know and the two shoot him several times and throw his body in a trunk.Later that night, a deal is arranged for the Sheriff and Deputy to meet Matty and Taylor in a warehouse. When they arrive, the lawmen are planning to kill Matty and the others and keep the money, but Teddy and the two mob men show up when Matty and Taylor do and they entire thing turns into a Mexican standoff. Chris arrives and shoots the Sheriff's cousin who came to help the Sheriff, and Matty and Taylor inquire about Marbles. Chris says that he thought he was with them. Teddy gives a signal to the two henchmen and they all fire on Chris who is killed. The Sheriff and Deputy, in the chaos, shoot the two mob men. Taylor then kills both of the lawmen but is shot in the arm by Teddy. Teddy's gun is out and Matty holds him at gunpoint. Matty says that it is Teddy that has been stealing and causing shortages from his father all along. Teddy tries to reload and shoot Matty claiming that Matty doesn't have the guts to shoot him, but Matty kills Teddy. Matty and Taylor get the money and return home. Upon giving the bag to his father, Matty is offered a position in with his father, but refuses it, claiming that he no longer wants to be part of it. He walks outside and he and Taylor get in a car and drive off.
