When ex-Afghanistan vet Keith Gainey bounces a guy from a Philly nightclub, he thinks he has the situation under control--until violent mobster Shawn Toomey joins the fight and kicks the patron to death.

Now there’s a body in the alley, and someone’s going to prison.

When the cops arrest and charge Keith with murder, he has one last desperate chance to earn his freedom:

Confront the savage gangster who is trying to frame him, or end up in a cold jail cell for decades to come.
