When the honest and idealistic policeman Chris Anderson meets the gorgeous and sexy, but alcoholic and drug addicted Pam in a bar, they date and have great sex. Chris immediately falls in love for Pam and marries her, but the reckless and emotionally unbalanced wife brings troubles to his relationship with his family and spends her credit card in futilities, leading the couple to financial problems. When Chris loses his job in the police department, he concludes that they are insolvent and decides to heist banks to resolve their financial issues.

Critics' reviews

"Ashley Judd flares like lightning. Her hot, sexy and violently unsettling performance (...) Her energy blasts through the script's familiar territory and makes 'Normal Life' compulsively watchable."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
