Toby wants to come up with the necessary money to keep the farm, plus he wants to be able to pay the money he owes his ex-wife in accumulated alimony and child support. The stakes are higher now because oil has recently been discovered on the property. Apparently the bank has been dishonest and exploitative toward the family, or at least Toby is convinced of this. Their mother has recently died, and Texas Midland Bank is set to foreclose on their farm shortly. But he’s someone who-while he’s evidently made his share of mistakes and done what he needed to do to survive sometimes difficult circumstances-has never turned to major crime until now. He has a clean police record-which helps in making him less of a suspect later-but from some things that are said it seems he’s really not so squeaky clean. Toby is the younger brother, but the one who came up with the idea and who more or less is the brains of the operation. Hell or High Water is about two brothers in rural Texas who turn to robbing banks to save the family farm.
