Every New Year's Eve, Hank Mitchell and his older brother Jacob make a pilgrimage to their parents' grave. This year Jacob's friend Lou comes with them.
As they drive through thick snow towards the cemetery, a fox runs across the road, and they skid on the ice and crash. Jacob's dog chases the fox, followed by the three men. Beating their way through drifts, they come across a small plane, belly down in the snow. In the pilot's seat is a dead man, his eyes pecked out by crows. In the back they discover a duffel bag. In the bag is four million dollars in cash....
A seemingly foolproof plan to keep the money, without fear of discovery or anyone being hurt, begins Hank's nightmare. From this moment on his hitherto ordinary and ordered life unfolds into an inevitable and doomed spiral of events, through murder, betrayal and mass killing.
Form its deceptively simple beginning, to its hoffific and surprising conclusion, A Simple Plan will have you on the edge of your seat.
