Storyline

The film takes place away from the glittering strip of mega casinos, but the greed of Sin City is just as pervasive on the desert outskirts. This is where a happy family learns of a forgotten fortune that may be buried beneath their home. Their lives are turned upside down. A sophisticated study of just how far people are able and willing to go if faced with the tempting prospect of easily acquired wealth.

The film's scenario unavoidably devolves into a treatise that, though timely, feels a tad too on the nose.

If your offspring has a fetish for hole-digging, look no further. For the final hour or so of this venture, your loved ones will be able to giggle and coo as a Vegas couple with addiction problems shovels up its backyard in search of a million dollars.
