A number of otherwise insignificant small-town stories erupt into drama when a gang of hoodlums decides to rob the local bank. A father looking for pride in his son's eyes, a timid bank manager who is a peeping tom by night, a man striving to re-win his wife's love, an Amish farmer faced with viciousness, and a proper older woman turned thief, all find themselves entangled with the bank robbers as a peaceful weekend turns violent.
!!Contains examples of:
* AccidentalMisnaming: When drunk, Boyd seems incapable remembering any man's name, including his own. He never gets a woman's name wrong, however.
* BoundAndGagged: Shelley and the Amish family are left bound and gagged and locked in the hayloft.
* CarFu: The bank robbers use their car to smash through the barn and then set it on fire in an an attempt to burn out Shelley and the Amish.
* CriminalProcedural: The bank robbers side of the story is entirely about the planning and execution of the bank robbery.
* GardeningVarietyWeapon. When finally provoked to violence in order to defend his family, Stadt stabs Dill in the back with a pitchfork.
* SweaterGirl: Emily claims to hate golf, and says she only plays it because she looks good in a sweater. And she does.
* WouldHarmAChild: Dill, the most vicious of the robbers, stomps on a small boy's hand. Later, he shoots one of the Amish children in the shoulder.
