Misfortune

After being released from prison, Mallick hunts down his ex-partner's son, Boyd, an out-of-work mechanic, whom he believes could lead the way to the missing stolen diamonds which landed him in lockup years earlier. With the threat of death and chance at a potential small fortune, Boyd, his diner-shift gal Sloan and best friend Russell, a small-time crook, set out on a search through the treacherous desert. As events spiral out of control, the prospects of a criminal fugitive lifestyle become an inevitable reality.
