- Synopsis
- For nearly twenty years after his boxing career ended Merle Hench works for Murdoch, the capo of San Fernando mob outfit. Merle spends his days cracking heads and collected, soft spoken even, Merle's an anachronism, a man out of place and out time. His Boss thinks Merle has outlived his usefulness and is expendable. So they set him up to take he fall for a multimillion $ heist of rival mob boss. A habitual the trap and winds up with a piece of the take and the girl. Merle might have been content to just disappear and spend his windfall with Jacqueline. But the betrayal of his loyalty for 20 years snapped something inside.
