Sam and Rachel are on the grift in Vail, Colorado, where they’re working sex-crazed Texas business tycoon Dan Croft to invest in their fake marijuana edibles company. But little do they know that Denver private eye Rick Malone is also onto their mark, hired to track him down over money he stole in his own scam back in Texas. With stakes running high and temperatures running low, it’s anyone’s guess who will be left holding the cash when the smoke clears, and whose lives will be forever changed in the process.
