Ex cop, turned armed robber, Shaun McCreadie, is out of jail after ten years. The first thing he does is retrieve the 2.8 million USD proceeds of the robbery he was sent away for, in the process killing the man who has followed and attempted to murder him. Shaun soon learns there are a lot of people who know he's out and want him dead. There's The Fat Man, a corrupt cop who still holds enormous power despite 'modern policing', and Stan Petrakis, a wild card determined to avenge his parent's death...
