Synopsis
A former Army Ranger, Jim Davis watches a promised LAPD position disappear and, short on options, drifts back into petty crime to keep cash flowing. His closest friend is being pushed by his girlfriend Sylvia to settle down and find steady work, but Jim prefers the easy money and camaraderie of small-time heists. Beneath the surface, Jim is holding onto a single aim: to land a legitimate law-enforcement role that will let him build a future and marry his girlfriend, who is Mexican.
