Thomasine and Bushrod are bank robbers who operate in the American South between 1911 and 1915. In 1911, Thomasine is thrown in jail after she knocks out and robs a man who attempted to force himself on her sexually without paying her for prostitution. After the sheriff lets her go, she notices a wanted poster of her former boyfriend, Bushrod, and tracks him down under the guise of being a bounty hunter, only to reunite with him and resume their relationship. After he kills a notorious bank robber nicknamed "Adolph the Butcher", Bushrod is convinced by Thomasine to rob banks under her leadership. While Bushrod gives stolen money to African Americans, Mexicans, Native Americans and poor whites, Thomasine just wants to survive.
