In the parched plains of West Texas, two brothers, Toby and Tanner Howard, take on a desperate scheme to save their family's ranch from foreclosure. Toby, the more level-headed of the two and a divorced father looking to secure a future for his sons, is joined by Tanner, an ex-convict with a volatile streak. Together, they orchestrate a series of calculated bank heists, targeting the very institution they blame for their mother's death and the impending loss of their ancestral land. The robberies are small-scale, designed to amass just enough to pay off the mortgage and laundered through gambling. They carefully cover their tracks, avoiding modern technology and leaving minimal clues behind.

Hot on the brothers' trail is Marcus Hamilton, an experienced and soon-to-retire Texas Ranger. Accompanied by his half-Comanche partner, Alberto Parker, Hamilton employs a combination of shrewd experience and methodical patience to unravel the series of crimes. The pursuit becomes a personal mission for Hamilton, who is contending with the looming uncertainty of his own retirement. As the brothers continue their criminal spree, they become folk heroes to some locals, who view the banks as leeches on the community, while Hamilton edges ever closer to a final confrontation, turning the chase into a tense cat-and-mouse game across the Texan landscape.
