Slinky blonde con woman Barbara Beatty (Rebbeca De Mornay) knows how to use all her charms to get what she wants. But one day, a scam goes awry and she finds herself deeply in debt. If she does not pay quickly, she will die. Hearing of a favorable situation in Mississippi, she heads southward in hopes of seducing an heir out of his impending fortune. He is an awkward and introverted gas-station attendant and has no idea that he is about to become a rich man. On her part, the conniving marriage-minded Barbara has no idea that she is about to fall hopelessly in love.
