After an honorable discharge from the Army, Vietnam veteran and sociopath Runt Wade makes a living scamming banks and senior citizens and laundering drug money from a CIA splinter group headed by his commanding officer. He loves, Mai Linn, a ‘gift’ from Wade’s Montanyard fighting companion, who shares his home. He also takes care of his ailing mother. His life is good until one man threatens to undo his scams and to add to his misery, the suppliers of the drug money he launders, turn on him. Wade finds himself looking down the sights of the crossbow he’d used in Vietnam to kill his enemies. Unfortunately, the rules of the jungle no longer apply, and he finds himself hunted by a determined female detective and a senior citizen whose aid she solicited. Wade’s goal is to escape with his money and with Mai Linn, but the detective and her citizen assistant have an opposite goal – capture and bring Wade to justice.
