Synopsis:

After a drug deal goes horribly awry, Bebe and Alex (Molly Ringwald and Donal Logue) flee to Baja where they wait for money and passports to arrive. Bebe's father (Corbin Bernsen) sends Bebe's not-yet-divorced ex-husband Michael (Michael Nickles) after her, hoping he can talk some sense into Bebe. While Bebe and Alex get increasingly irritated and Michael searches the streets of Baja, a ill-tempered and cut-throat hitman (Lance Henriksen) shows up and befriends Michael. Eventually, all the characters collide in the desert in an explosive confrontation. Typical Elmore Leonard-type plot situation among criminals, but the lush photography of Baja and the competent performances keep this film taut and fresh looking. Henriksen in particular breathes life into a very cliched character making the audience wish the whole film was about him.

Bebe and Alex are a couple on the run. After a drug deal turns deadly, the pair head off for Baja, Mexico, where they hide out in a trailer on the sea of Cortez. Bebe's shady father asks Michael Hart, her estranged husband, to track them down and return Bebe to him. Michael finds it a simple matter to locate Bebe and Alex. However, so does Tom Burns, a ruthless hitman. As Burns prepares to kill Alex, Michael finds himself with less than twenty four hours to convince Bebe to return home. What follows is a violent, darkly funny game of cat and mouse, in which the players are forced to confront each other and themselves.

Alex and Bebe are camped out in Baja California, Mexico, after their disastrous first attempt at a drug deal. Impatiently awaiting forged passports, they are unaware that Bebe's father has convinced her estranged husband Michael to find her. Michael soon arrives in Baja California, where it appears he isn't the only foreigner trying to find Alex and Bebe.
