Palmetto

In a town this bad, it's no use being good.

A neo-noir crime thriller about a desperate ex-con drawn into an elaborate con that spirals beyond his control, built on paranoia, deception, and the corrupting allure of easy money.

After being released from prison on a bum charge, Harry Barber is out for payback to regain his lost two years. He's hired by Mrs. Malroux to fake the kidnapping of her stepdaughter (the daughter of a dying millionaire). He discovers that he is being set up on multiple levels and will soon face a longer sentence if he doesn't prove the truth.
