Strike is a young city drug pusher under the tutelage of drug lord Rodney Little. When a night manager at a fast-food restaurant is found with four bullets in his body, Strike’s older brother turns himself in as the killer. Det. Rocco Klein doesn’t buy the story, however, setting out to find the truth, and it seems that all the fingers point toward Strike & Rodney.
A mysterious stranger with a gun and a bullet wound turns up at the house of an old woman who is a recluse, and who unexpectedly welcomes him as her first visitor in 30 years. A relationship develops between the two, as the man becomes the son the woman lost years ago and she becomes the mother he never had.
