The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Two brothers, one an ex-con and one recently divorced, have a plan to pay off the family ranch’s reverse mortgage before the foreclosure deadline. Oil has been discovered on the ranch which will set them up for life, if the payment can be made to the Texas Midland Bank (which has a reputation of keeping people in debt until they can no longer pay and then taking their land).
Their plan involves robbing several Texas Midland Banks. Nobody is supposed to get hurt or killed. Of course we all know how such plans work out. And the brothers didn’t count on Texas Ranger, Marcus Hamilton.
