Wade Cardell is in big trouble. Just minutes after he has been fired from his job at a salvage yard in Northtown, Ohio, he gets into an argument with the boss's nephew on his way out the door that results in the man's death. Now he's a wanted felon and the only one he can call to rescue him so he can get back home in time to see his dying mother before the law grabs him is his cousin, a drug-dealing thug and ex-con with ties to the Aryan Brotherhood. He's the reason Wade did time in a West Virginia prison. Wade agrees to go in with his cousin on a scheme to break into a couple's safe while they're away from the house. The one thing Wade had not counted on was getting involved with someone worse than his cousin when it comes to sticking a knife into your back.
