Synopsis

A criminal gang looks forward to a big payday until Albert Graves their peterman (safecracker/thief) suddenly dies. Spotting an opportunity, Albert’s grandson Johnny approaches the men at the funeral but is chased out by his abusive father who accuses Johnny of being nothing but a low life and drug addict. But the safecracking skills that Johnny has been taught by his grandfather do not escape the gang and that night he’s snatched away to a dark farmhouse to finish the job his granddad began.
Held captive by four men all with seemingly different agendas and under constant threat of bloody violence Johnny enters a painful withdrawal from his addiction. Toying with his demons he reluctantly starts to open the safe - while his captors tussle for control and power amongst themselves.
A story of redemption sits alongside a bloody and violent end for those obsessed by power, mistrust and greed.
