Take a walk on the wild side with hired gun John Hardin (Michael Madsen). When Hardin's boss, powerful mobster Jack Rushton (Gary Busey) puts a contract out on his scheming and sexy wife Rena (Jennifer Tilly), Hardin confronts an assassin's worst fear- having to kill his own lover. Rena is counting on having Hardin kill her twin sister instead, but she didn't count on Hardin having a conscience. And when he refuses to murder an innocent woman, he finds himself trapped between lust and loyalty in a deadly game of blackmail, betrayal and brutality.
