Storyline

Three scheming players work each other over in a game of double-cross in classic noir fashion, the story centering around the prospective delivery of a briefcase containing thousands in laundered cash. Young punk Eddie, a scheming opportunist, has recruited his inane girlfriend Tanya to do the job. Eddie's boss and father-figure Frank, a crooked businessman, struggles over his fatherly feelings toward Eddie and the success of his business, while sexy, carefree Tanya dances between these two forces of manipulative masculinity with her own agenda.

Gritty New York gangster neo-noir with punchy performances...

Sparse, tight and gritty! Victor Argo (whose eyes cut to the bone in one short glance!), delivers a powerhouse performance in this surprising short that packs a whallop and obviously has fun with the NYC gangster genre. A suitcase full of cash leads three very different people into a dangerous tangled web that takes you on a twisted ride full of great surprises. Tight script and direction make this film really move to a shocking payoff! A must for Argo fans.
