Matt, along with his derelict friends Vince and Andy, devise a plan to steal from the local mob. Mob boss, Angelo, assigns Denicio the task of tracking down and dealing with the trio. Matt's primary motivation for acquiring the money is to provide a better future for his fiancé Sarah. However, he is acutely aware that his friends are more of a hindrance than a help. This realization forces Matt into a difficult position where he must choose between remaining loyal to his childhood companions or seizing the chance to build a genuine life with the woman he loves. The weight of this decision bears heavily on him as he contemplates whether to continue down a path fraught with danger and uncertainty or to break free from his past in pursuit of stability and happiness.
