Absolutely nobody is who he or she seems in this stylish
thriller about a guy who wants to get out of his fly-speck hometown, the girlfriend who wants to help him, and the successful friend who just might make it possible. When
Bryce (
Josh Brolin) returns to his tiny hometown of Tropico, NV, he finds pal
Nick (
Alessandro Nivola) still living there unhappily. One night the pair meets a beautiful blonde at the bar and eventually
Bryce takes her back to the house where he's staying. When the girl,
Lissa (
Reese Witherspoon), reveals that she's under age and threatens to turn
Bryce in for statutory rape, he panics, ties her up in the basement, and puts in an anguished call to
Nick. Little does
Bryce realize, however, that
Lissa is actually
Nick's very grown-up girlfriend, and that the two lovers have decided
Bryce and the ritzy house where he's staying will play a major role in their bid to leave behind dead-end Tropico forever.
