Relentless with suspense, dark with menace, this is the gripping story of two brothers on the edge of disaster. When Scott takes part in an armored van robbery and disappears, he is pursued by the very nasty criminals who set it up-and who hope to get at him through his brother, Jet, a boxer in a traveling carnival, and his eight-year-old daughter, Stella.
