Plot

Here is the plot summary for "Scorched": In the seemingly idyllic small town of Desperation Valley, a trifecta of mischievous employees at the local bank, First National Bank, harbor secret aspirations to pull off the heist of their lives. Unbeknownst to each other, three individuals - a former soldier, a cunning thrill-seeker, and a desperate woman on the run from her past - concoct separate plans to rob the very same bank, oblivious to the fact that they are not alone in their schemes. The first of these would-be thieves is Jack (played by Chris Klein), a charismatic but troubled veteran struggling to find his place in the world. Haunted by memories of war, he sees the bank as a means to fund his own personal redemption and a way to prove himself to those around him. Next up is Kate (played by Lizzy Caplan), a thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie who sees the robbery as an opportunity to shake off her humdrum routine and inject some excitement into her life. Meanwhile, Rachel (played by Odette Yustman) - a single mother desperate to escape her troubled past and provide for her young daughter - envisions the heist as a means to finance a fresh start. Each of these individuals harbors their own unique motivations, but what they share is a sense of desperation and a desire to change their circumstances. As the day of the planned robberies approaches, tensions simmer beneath the surface. The trio's separate schemes are about to collide in a chaotic explosion that will leave only one of them victorious, and the others shattered. Will any of these misfits succeed in pulling off the ultimate heist, or will they find themselves outsmarted by their own hubris? In this tense and thrilling ride, Scorched takes viewers on a wild adventure through the world of bank robberies, where the stakes are high, the risks are greater, and the outcome is far from certain.
