Bound

Corky, portrayed by Gina Gershon, completes her five-year prison sentence and is released. She arrives at an apartment building where she has secured a new job as a painter and plumber, ready to start anew.

As Corky explores her new surroundings, she encounters her neighbors, Violet and Caesar. Their initial interactions are friendly, but there’s a palpable tension that suggests more beneath the surface.

Violet cleverly flirts with Corky, leading to a playful scenario where Corky helps retrieve an earring from the sink. The interaction quickly escalates into a passionate encounter between the two women.

The following morning, Violet reveals dark truths about her life with Caesar, explaining that he is a money launderer for the Mafia. This confession deepens their connection and complicates Corky's feelings.

Violet accidentally overhears Caesar and his associates torturing a man named Shelly for skimming money. This shocking event makes Violet question her life choices and her dangerous relationship with Caesar.

Disturbed by the events she has witnessed, Violet enlists Corky's help to plan a heist to steal nearly $2 million from Caesar. Skeptical but intrigued, Corky agrees to the risky plan, unsure of Violet's true motives.

Tensions escalate when Shelly is murdered by Johnnie, leading to Caesar returning home with blood-stained money. This chilling turn of events raises the stakes dramatically for everyone involved.

Violet outlines the heist strategy to Corky, which involves distracting Caesar while he counts the money. The plan relies on perfect timing and trust between Corky and Violet as they attempt to steal the cash.

When Caesar realizes that the money is missing, panic ensues, and he contemplates running away. In a fit of rage, he grabs Violet, threatening her at gunpoint, while Corky waits anxiously for the situation to unfold.

Facing immense fear and paranoia, Caesar confronts Johnnie, leading to further escalation. This confrontation sets off a chain reaction of violence that affects everyone involved.

Caesar ties up both Corky and Violet, intent on reclaiming the stolen money while threatening their lives. The intensity increases as the power dynamics shift between the three characters.

Violet manages to distract Caesar by tricking him into thinking he has a call from Gino. This strategic move buys them time as greed and desperation drive the situation to a critical point.

As Caesar prepares to kill Corky, Violet intervenes with a gun, asserting her power and declaring, 'Caesar, you don’t know shit,' before pulling the trigger. This pivotal moment changes the fate of all involved.

In the aftermath of the deadly confrontation, Violet is offered a chance to start fresh by a Mafia associate. However, she chooses to escape her past, driving off with Corky toward an uncertain but hopeful future.
