“Rips into you like a double-crossing Dame!”

Crime

A former boxer turned taxi driver earns the scorn of his nagging wife and gets mixed up with jewel thieves.

A smoky, rain-slicked night where every shadow hides a threat. You'll feel the desperation of a man caught in a web of bad luck and worse choices, with the city itself as a suffocating, indifferent character.
