Travis Walker and his girlfriend Jessica (Jess) always had it tough. Growing up in hardscrabble conditions in the trailer park, they believed they had the perfect "plan" to get rich. As Jess indicates late in the film, the great struggle in life is "between the halves and have-nots."
After Jess meets the millionaire realtor Sarah Carter, she hatches a plan to pimp out her boyfriend Travis. Jess plays the pandar as Travis worms his way into Sarah's life, eventually marrying her. But the perfect plan had not included Sarah and Travis having a baby. When it is learned that an accident has occurred and Sarah is pregnant, Jess moves into action with a more devious scheme involving murder.
Sarah was a kind and loyal friend to Jess. At a time when she was over eight months pregnant, Sarah was driving late at night on a mission to help Jess, who called her for a ride. In return, Jess ran her off the road nearly killing her. Sarah survived and successfully delivered little Lily in the hospital. But Jess subsequently kidnapped the child, eventually holding her for ransom.
Jess and Travis are assisted by his domineering mother Virginia. The threesome take the baby from L.A. to Palm Springs, where it immediately becomes apparent that the child is not in good hands. At one point, Jess raises the rhetorical question, "Does the kid ever shut up?" Later, Travis is arrested by the Palm Springs police. Then, Virginia falls asleep while Jess is packing up Lily and racing out of town with the child in tow.
The most outrageous scene in the film was when Jess took the baby into the Moon Dance Strip Club, her old stomping ground in Las Vegas. It was there that little Lilly was handed off like a football to Jess's friend Ashley. But when her friends wants a piece of the action, Jess murders Ashley, just as she dispatched Travis, who had become "a loose end." Eventually, all roads converge in the desert with Sarah's mother-in-law Virginia playing a key role in placing the baby in the arms of her mother and not a strip club.
