The past has left him bruised, and the future is not promising either. And with a face that invites trouble, an ailing, washed-up musician roams the city's dark, rain-soaked streets searching for hope. Then, knowing that he is running out of time and options, the pill-popping loner crosses paths with a taciturn 19-year-old guitarist, and an unexpected bond begins to form in a world rife with decadence, lost souls, and peril. However, can the grizzled stranger restore faith in humankind? Two stolen pistols later, three women--Elsa, Miss Raspberry, and Black Beauty--join them on a journey to the wild side, in complete disregard for the dangers involved. Now, the man is willing to dice with death to strike it rich and wipe the slate clean. After all, he has nothing to lose but his chains. For once, can the loser take it all?
