Mitchell is finally free after a stint in prison for
assault. A crony offers him a job as a loan-shark
enforcer, and though Mitchell isn't crazy about the idea,
he doesn't have any better offers. He's perfect for the
job - mean and merciless. Buthe's also got another, softer
side: he's an avid reader of crime novels, he's a loyal
friend, and he'd even like to get married one day if he
can find the right woman. He figures his luck might have
changed when he lands a legitimate job as a handyman for a
rich actress who's eager to reward him with cash, cars,
and sex. Then he meets Aisling - smart, beautiful, and,
best of all, as crazy about Mitchell as he is about her.
But Mitchell can never truly escape his violent past or
the dangerous world of loan sharks, druggies, and other
bottomfeeders. When an arrogant error in judgment
threatens everything that's dear to Mitchell, he plots his
own ghastly form of revenge on those who've stolen his
life.
