Desperate to escape the confines of her stifling West Texas hometown and driven by a yearning to find her estranged mother, Caroline (Samara Weaving) falls under the spell of Oliver (Kyle Gallner), a charismatic con man on the run. Drawn together by danger and desire, they embark on a daring journey through the American South, leaving a trail of crime, passion and violence in their wake. What begins as thrilling confidence games soon escalates into a high-stakes adventure, forcing Caroline to internalize the central truth of every con: The most convincing lie is the one we tell ourselves. 

As with his jagged romantic comedy Dinner in America (which also featured Gallner), director Adam Rehmeier again captures an unlikely relationship that crackles with chemistry and embodies an authentic sweetness. Gallner and Weaving seductively sizzle together as their small-time swindles escalate and earn them a reputation (and an arrest warrant) worthy of Bonnie and Clyde. And the soundtrack! The judicious deployment of country music needle-drops combine to maintain an infectiously swooning momentum where hope springs eternal — at least within the measures of a long embrace on a honky-tonk dance floor. 

Directed by Adam Carter Rehmeier
