Bill Payne walks out of a North Carolina prison in 1930 with grand schemes and a grudge—he's determined to hunt down his former partner Gillin and make him pay for the years Payne spent behind bars. When violence and betrayal lead Payne back to prison, he emerges years later with a new plan: a string of jewel heists orchestrated with help from a dance-hall girl named Millie, which quickly spirals into an armed prison break and a desperate flight across the South with federal agents closing in. As Payne's criminal empire grows more violent and chaotic, the biggest manhunt in the region's history begins to close around him.
