Charlie flees the bar in fear after he is told that the deceased man's father, Matt Halloran (Pogue) is a mobster. Word of his son's death reaches Matt Halloran and he puts a reward on Charlie's head. The police work for Halloran in this town, therefore they are no help to Charlie whatsoever.

With nobody but Karen on his side, Charlie must run for his life as he figures out how to get out of the nightmare that his life has become.
