PlotRocky Mulloy, a former Marine, is released from prison after serving five years for a robbery he didn't commit, thanks to the testimony of fellow veteran Delong who provides an alibi. Determined to clear his name and locate the money that went missing in the heist, Rocky returns to Los Angeles. He seeks out Nancy Morgan, the wife of his best friend who is also imprisoned for the same crime. Rocky's presence unsettles Nancy, but she reluctantly allows him to stay at her trailer park. As Rocky and Delong dig deeper, they encounter a cast of dubious characters including the menacing nightclub owner Castro and shady associates who all have something to hide.
Rocky's investigation uncovers trails of deceit and corruption, pushing him further into a web of lies and potential danger. Throughout his quest, tensions rise, loyalties are tested, and Rocky faces increasing threats as he gets closer to the truth. Each step closer to clearing his name brings him face-to-face with moral ambiguities and personal sacrifices. Despite mounting obstacles and betrayals, Rocky remains steadfast in his pursuit of justice, driven by a desire to prove his innocence and uncover the real perpetrators behind the heist.
