Angelo DiNoto is the most powerful crime lord in New Jersey, his empire sustained by pure heroin from the poppies of an old Turkish farmer. That is, until a $5 million dollar shipment goes missing.
Richard Mundi, a shady developer, sees the lost heroin as capital infusion for his failing business. His daughter Gloria, literally in bed with would-be revolutionaries, thinks itâs her ticket out. âMailmanâ, a long-time postal clerk dying of cancer, believes finding the heroin would be perfect ending to a failed life. Add in punch-drunk P.I. Kelly, hired by Mundi to tail Gloria, Kellyâs young protĂ©gĂ©, two brothers working as DiNotoâs enforcers, and a conflicted collections agent, and you have an Elmore Leonard-esque cast of characters running rampantâuntil all threads lead to an unforgettable showdown over the old Turkâs load.
