It is here, Nick finds himself fortuitously linked with Erika. A damaged young woman. and seemingly the polar opposite of Nick, Erika is a woman suffering from amnesia and mysteriously has Nick's address tattooed on her arm. Attempting to unravel the mystery, both Nick and Erika find themselves enmeshed in the violent underworld of organized crime, led by the unhinged and barbarous Roy. Now acutely aware the seriousness of the situation, Nick soon comes to the rare realization that not all of his problems can be disentangled with money.
