Quicksand

Dan is a nice guy who needs $20 for a hot date with a waitress. He sneaks the sum from his boss, intending to pay it back later by collecting from a buddy who owes him. The friend never makes good on the money, so Dan pulls a small con for the cash. However, this petty crime lands Dan in hot water, and he finds himself committing a more serious transgression to buy his way out of trouble.
