Palmetto - Un torbido inganno (1998)
Palmetto è un'anonima cittadina sperduta nella torrida Florida. A Palmetto vive Harry Barber, un ladruncolo spiantato. Un giorno lo sgangherato malfattore viene sedotto da una bionda fatale che, oltre alle sue innegabili grazie, avanza una proposta che ad una mezza tacca del crimine come Harry sembra irresistibile: per 50mila dollari deve organizzare il falso rapimento della figliastra della fatalona, spillare un cospicuo riscatto al ricchissimo marito della stessa, tenersi la sua parte e godersi la vita. Ma l'incauto Harry ha preso il bidone: omicidi ed indizi che tendono a farne il capro espiatorio costringono il giovane alla fuga e ad indagare per provare la sua innocenza.
