Summaries

A former bank robber is released after 10 years in prison. He gets help from a social-worker, but gets harassed by an old cop from his past.

On account of the influence and support of Germain, a warm and compassionate social worker, the repeat offender and former safe-cracker, Gino, is granted parole. Yearning to wipe the slate clean and bury the past, Gino, determined to go straight, gets a steady job and finds love, unaware that it is only a matter of time before he's forced to confront destiny. Now, with his old partners-in-crime almost begging him to pick up where they left off, Gino finds himself with the back to the wall as malevolent Inspector Goitreau re-enters his life, harbouring a decade-long grudge. Is there enough room in town for the two sworn enemies?—Nick Riganas
