Synopsis
Bryce (Thomas Sandford) is a former mob assailant, who took a wrong turn by stealing his boss Curtis's (Tony Cole) hard earned money. Now Bryce finds himself tied in a garage, with not many escape plans available. He has to find his way to freedom, before falling a victim to the wrath of the mob.

Plot
A few months after the events of Price of Betrayal, Bryce, a former mob assailant, finds himself in a garage, sitting on a chair with his hands tied. Curtis, Bryce's boss, with his bodyguard, enters and pulls off the bag from Bryce's head. Curtis tells Bryce that 35 000 dollars (which were mentioned in the end of Price of Betrayal) have been stolen from his safe and that Bryce's fingerprints were all over it. Bryce doesn't deny the accusations, but instead gets humorous with Curtis, who punches Bryce. Curtis offers Bryce freedom in exchange of giving him the location of the money. Bryce lists the coordinates of the location, but once Curtis' bodyguard has checked them, the coordinates turn out to be the location of a casino in Las Vegas. Curtis in his anger kicks Bryce down and prepares to shoot him, but gets a phone call from his mother and leaves the garage.

Bryce is left alone in the garage with Curtis' bodyguard who starts throwing darts. Bryce manages to sneak behind the bodyguard and strangle him with the tape his hands are tied with. Bryce breaks the tape on the leg of the fallen down chair, and breaks himself free. He takes the bodyguard's pistol and peaks out from the door of the garage.

He shoots the guards outside and gets into the closest car he sees, planning to drive away. Another guard comes outside, sees the dead bodies, and starts shooting at Bryce and his car. Bryce manages to shoot him, but decides to get out of the car and make a run for it. Curtis, with his henchmen, start chasing him.Curtis and his henchmen are trying to find Curtis. One of them sees him and alerts the others before getting shot. Curtis, with one of his guards, sees Bryce and starts chasing him. Bryce shoots Curtis' guard, but both Bryce and Curtis run out of ammo. Curtis manages to jump Bryce on a small open field and he starts punching him. Both men stand up and prepare for a fight. At first Bryce seems to be at a disadvantage not managing to land a single punch. Curtis kicks him down, but he manages to pull Curtis with him. Both stand up and Curtis takes out a knife. Bryce manages to knock Curtis down, the knife falling out of his hands, but when trying to attack him, Curtis pulls Bryce into a choke. Bryce takes the knife, breaks free from Curtis' choke and presumably slits Curtis' throat. Bryce walks away a free man.
