Baxter Bodine thinks he's planned the perfect robbery. From an armored car at a local horseracing track, he and his friends have liberated a huge amount of money, hiding it deep in the woods with plans to return for it in one year, "after the heat cools down." But Baxter planned wrong - and he gets a surprise visit from the LAPD. Now it's up to his friends to recover the cash and get out of town.
