The brothers enlist the help of a low-level criminal, Bobby Lasorda, played by Brian F. O'Byrne, to carry out the robbery. They plan to commit the crime during the day, assuming their parents will have the insurance to cover any losses and no one will get hurt.
However, their plan quickly unravels when the robbery goes awry and their mother, Nanette Hanson, portrayed by Rosemary Harris, is accidentally killed by Bobby.
