It's the nature of temptation in this movie. Arthur Banks (Keifer Sutherland) is a hitman for hire. HE usually picks up solitary women and uses them for the jobs he needs to do and then kills them when he's done with them. On his way to Mexico, Banks picks up Bennie Harper (Melora Walters) who says she is leaving an abusive marriage and headed for Paradise, Arizona. There is a flaw in Banks' tough guy exterior and he finds he likes Bennie and trys to persuade her to join him. But Bennie may not be all she appears to be. To add to his problems, the FBI is in close pursuit of Banks, whom they want alive in the hope that Banks will turn his bosses in. Can Banks escape the FBI and figure out what Bennie wants before it's too late for him?
