Description
Harry Mitchell's life appears to be one of quiet contentment. A successful businessman and pillar of his community, he has been married for over twenty-two years. However, when he meets a young woman who becomes the object of his desire, his carefully constructed facade begins to crumble. A chance encounter at his girlfriend's apartment sets off a chain of events that exposes Mitchell's infidelity on camera. Two masked men now demand payment from him, but they have mistakenly targeted the wrong man. Undeterred by the situation, Mitchell takes matters into his own hands and seeks revenge against those who have wronged him. This gripping tale of deception and retribution is a classic example of the hard-boiled genre, with its dark and gritty portrayal of human nature.
