Description
Charles "Shake" Bouchon's life as a professional wheel man has left him feeling like an outsider. Fresh out of prison, he's tasked with delivering a package to Dick Moby and picking up a briefcase for his former boss and lover, Alexandra Ilandryan. However, when the package turns out to be Gina, a young housewife, Shake decides to set her free - a move that proves both noble and reckless. Now, Shake and Gina are on the run in Panama, trying to unload the contents of the briefcase while evading two angry crime bosses, a heartbroken ex-linebacker, and a sadistic thug. As they navigate this treacherous landscape, Shake begins to realize that Gina is not the innocent woman he initially thought her to be. As their situation becomes increasingly precarious, Shake must confront his own morals and loyalties in order to protect Gina and himself from those who seek to harm them.
