Where temptation lurks!

CrimeThriller

A struggling young father-to-be gives in to temptation and impulsively steals an envelope of money from the office of a corrupt attorney. Instead of a few hundred dollars, it contains $30,000, and when he decides to return the money things go wrong and that is only the beginning of his troubles.

VIBE

A palpable sense of urban dread and desperation permeates this classic noir. Every shadow feels menacing, and the city itself becomes a character, trapping its protagonists in a downward spiral of bad decisions and mounting consequences.
