...trip--"Portland, we have a problem," a columnist lamented. Prosecutors were even harsher. Five of the six people involved have now pleaded guilty, and because of mandatory-sentencing laws, most have received at least four years. Even Celia Reynolds, who reluctantly drove Tom and Ethan to and from a supermarket robbery (and somewhat less reluctantly took a share of the proceeds afterward) will spend a full two years in prison for her role...
...wasn't so easy. Will, now a sixth-grader at Gainesville's Westwood Middle School, repeatedly called a local recycling contractor, asking the firm to donate can crushers, and a supermarket, looking for carts for can collection. Even then, his dad Tim, a chemist at UF, and his mom Betsy, who teaches at the university's speech and hearing clinic, had to tell the companies Will was serious...

Ronna and her newfound talent comprise only one of the perspectives that tie the main characters' worlds together. Since the movie is told in three main sections, each from the experience of one or two people, several overlapping segments slowly but surely become apparent. Starting from the same supermarket scene that launched Ronna's story, Simon, trading shifts with Ronna, goes on a joy ride to Las Vegas with friends to experience the high stakes world of sleazy strip clubs, car chases and guns. His abandon is remarkable, and Askew comfortably plays up Simon's amorality and detachment from responsibility...
