synopsis
A man learns the downside of trusting your friends in this thriller. Mitch (Lorenzo Lamas) is a pressman who receives a call from Dennis, a close friend from childhood. Dennis asks Mitch to give him back the $10,000 he lent him years ago. Mitch has no memory of borrowing that kind of money, but he figures that his friend wouldn't try to cheat him. However, it turns out that Dennis now works as a bookie, and he's invented the story of Mitch's debt in order to shame Mitch into helping him with a counterfeiting scheme that he's become involved with through a Mafia underling. Back to Even stars Michael Pare and Angela Jones.
