A 21-year prison sentence ends, but the revenge plan mutates faster than the flu in Arizona heat.
In this darkly karmic vision of Arizona, a man who breathes nothing but ill will begins a noxious domino effect as quickly as an uncontrollable virus kills. As he exits Arizona State Penn after twenty-one long years, Wilson has only one thing on the brain, leveling the score with career criminal, Mackey Willis. As eccentric and intuitive as he is vicious, Mackey's own perfected criminal game will play right into the path Wilson has set for him. With the help of a prison bus driver, Lee Marvin, Wilson acts as a catalyst, putting a plan into action that will bring an untimely end to Mackey Willis. The problem is, nothing goes exactly as planned.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director James M. Hausler was a film student at ASU when he made this; the Arizona locations aren't just setting, they're budget necessity.
This belongs to a forgotten wave of mid-2000s Tarantino-wannabe crime indies where aging legends (Loggia, Roundtree, Forster) paid bills in grimy Phoenix-shot thrillers.
