Truth or Consequences, N.M. is the gritty, romantic story of petty criminal Raymond Lembecke (Vincent Gallo) and the woman he loves, Addy Monroe (Kim Dickens). Fresh out of jail, Raymond is determined to find enough money to take Addy away with him forever. But getting ahold of the cash has dire consequences for the couple, as they hook up with Ray's former prisonmate and wild man Curtis Freley (Kiefer Sutherland) and his associate, the enigmatic Marcus (Mykelti Williamson). When their simple plan for an easy theft goes awry and an undercover cop is killed, Raymond, Addy, Curtis and Marcus go on the lam, taking two yuppie hostages (Kevin Pollak and Grace Phillips) with them. Desperate to make their dream come true, Ray and Addy follow Curtis down a road from which there may be no return.
