Description

An armored car carrying a huge payday is rolling through the city every Friday for four weeks. Out of money, Wilson takes up with Ruby, an old partner, on a job that promises a huge score. The only problem Ruby's kid Rick is in the one who scouted the job and he wants in on the deal. Rick is everything Wilson isn't, but without him there is no job. Wilson signs on with the condition that he runs the job he plans it, supplies it, and staffs it. Ruby and her son agree because they need the money as badly as Wilson does. The job is a success, but so is the double cross. Wilson loses the money and almost his life. He sets out after his partners learning that nothing was every really what it seemed nothing except the blood on the ground. Honor among thieves is bullshit, but Ruby and her kid should have known better than to try and play another man's game.
