A charismatic, brilliant schemer leads two different lives in two different parts of Texas. In Houston, he goes by Bob Allen and is married to Cat, part of a wealthy oil family. More than 400 miles away, in Midland, he's known as Robert and lives with naive girlfriend Lindsay. Bob's motive is to become part of the oil family with the goal of eventually cleaning it out. But when he fears his secret lives may unravel, Bob puts everything on the line in an attempt to keep his two separate relationships afloat.
