John Garfield has never had it so good. The smart young Wall Street lawyer joins a get-rich-quick scheme of a mob boss who plans on bankrupting the city's small-time numbers racketeers and consolidating their businesses. However, when Garfield discovers he must choose between his loyalty to the ruthless racket kingpin or his family, the true force of evil is revealed.
