Plot
During a weekend trip in the woods, three friends, Victor (Ellar Coltrane), former girlfriend Lynn (Willa Fitzgerald) and Jeff (Jacob Artist), who secretly slept with Lynn, found four bags full of money. They find that it belongs to a villain named Miller (John Cusack), who is looking for him.
During their vacation, Jeff was caught in one of the money bags. With Miller pulling her in one direction, and Lynn refuses to release the money, Jeff dies. During the end, Victor falls and Lynn hides the money at the abandoned factory. Miller confronts Lynn at the factory and Lynn tries to negotiate with her, saying that if she gives him some money, she'll tell him where the rest is hidden. Lynn distracted Miller long enough that Victor hit him from behind with a pipe. Lynn grabs the pipe and starts hitting Miller several times on the head, killing her. Lynn grabs Miller's gun and directs it to Victor. He tells her that he's sorry, before he pulls the trigger, kills him.
The final image of this movie is Lynn, walking out of the factory, dragging money back to civilization.
