Jimmy Skinner, 55 years old. A decent man...but all burnt out. All that's left of him are the memories of Broadway's bright lights. He lives a pathetic existence with his dog Toots. Tonight, loud rock music is playing next door. The neighbours celebrate a lucky shot: They sold an old beat up car to a gullible couple. And since drugs and alcohol flow freely, how about sharing some with the dog? Toots die's at Jimmy's feet. Blind with rage, he wants revenge and steals the car money. From his neighbours, Jimmy does not get caught and instead he becomes rich. One of the girls from next door take an interest in Jimmy and his new found wealth. Will he fall into the trap she sets for him?
