As he exits the prison after twenty five long years, a vicious man named Wilson (Robert Forster) has only one thing on his mind, leveling the score with career criminal, Mackey Willis (Robert Loggia), who helped put Wilson behind bars. A fellow ex-con Marvin (Richard Roundtree), also has unfinished business with Mackey, so he teams up with Wilson. They put a plan into action that will bring Mackey Willis down. Meanwhile, Buckely (James Hausler) is a slacker who thinks a life of a criminal might be easier than holding down a regular job. With the help of his pals, an aimless bunch of Arizona twenty-nothings, Buckley maps out a robbery of the same bank that should earn him a fortune, but the group of alcoholics and slackers is all but skilled for robbing a bank, and they are destined for failure.
