Synopsis by Andrea LeVasseur

Jordan Alan directs this B-movie about a thief wanting to go straight. Nick (Charlie Mattera) and Manny (Peter Greene) are partners in crime, but only Nick winds up in prison after a setup. Eight years later, he gets released and goes to Los Angeles to reunite with his ex-girlfriend, Maria (Justine Miceli). While Nick was locked up, she married and divorced Manny, who had turned into a violent and abusive cop. In his quest to settle down with Maria and her daughter, Nick meets her landlord, retired criminal Harry (Ed Lauter), and the two begin a series of bank robberies before the inevitable battle with the crazed Manny. Also stars Ryan O'Neal.
