Plot

Rupert Marshetta (Keanu Reeves) has a mind of his own, he's frustrated with his parents, especially his dad (Fred Ward), and doesn't fit in with other youth. He is also in love with an older woman, Carla (Amy Madigan). One day the dad tells Rupert he sees himself as the king of Pennsylvania, his wife as the queen, and Rupert as the prince who will inherit his kingdom. He shows Rupert an old trailer and asks him if he sells the land, what he would do with the money. Increasingly frustrated with how life is going, Rupert schemes with Carla to kidnap the father to get money to enjoy a future together. He is held in the old trailer. Meanwhile, Rupert discovers the land has already been sold and the money is nowhere to be found. The dad is then taken to the mine where he works and held near a portable toilet. Rupert eventually thinks the money has been hidden in the toilet, which is chained closed. He prepares dynamite to blow open the toilet. Mine rescue workers and police arrive on scene.
