Diz (Joel Courtney) is a rambunctious adolescent who lives on the run. Being raised without his parents' support, he is self-reliant and refuses to accept help. He grabs whatever he can get his hands on and flees. Diz leads a life marked by robbery and desertion, and he has no intention of changing his ways. When Diz floats into a little town on the Snake River, everything changes for him. There, he comes face to face with an unflappable old man named Marty, and he finds himself falling for Marty's guarded granddaughter, Selah, who he later falls for himself. A local drug dealer goes insane when Diz robs him and he finds himself the owner of a large sum of money, as well as a prey for a pair of violent killers. When confronted with an abundance of money and criminals on his tail, Diz puts the people he's grown to care about in peril while still attempting to win Selah's affection. Theft or purchase of some items is not an option, though. In The River Thief, there are themes of remorse, self-sacrifice, and the acceptance of life as a gift.
