Life is good for Jack, Carter and Harlan, three inept ne'r-do-wells who help run master dope-grower Malcoms flourishing marijuana plantation somewhere in northern California. But then Malcom is suddenly bumped off by a mysterious assailant, after a moment of panic, the naive trio decide to take over the business themselves. However, their lazy days on the dope farm have ill prepared them for the high-stakes game of finding buyers for millions of dollars of contraband. As they plunge into a shadowy new world of duplicity, double-dealing and danger, they soon find that they have gotten in way, way over their heads. But driven on by increasing greed and paranoia, it's too late to back out. —Eva Tauzer <eva@mte.hupe.hu>

Really enjoyed this, well acted, good drama, with some comedy and cameos

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. I tend to like Billy Bob movies and this was no exception. Good cameos by actors, playing roles much different than what we usually see them as. Believable too. I especially liked the community angle of the growers. I also live in a small community and it was funny to see the town stand behind each other the way they did.
