But, his best friend JERRY offers to drive. As expected, their car breaks down on the way. Which gives Dirt a chance to save VANESSA from a vicious attack. But did he? When he's later forced to bury the attacker's body, he learns they’re not stuck in any town, they're stuck in a hub for the world’s organized crime syndicates. Gripped by a recent power struggle that Vanessa created. But she's just trying to do something good. Maybe she has a higher purpose. Since the only decision Dirt makes are the bad ones, he lets his feelings get in the way and he acquiesces to her advances. Until she does the unspeakable. When they're finally caught, she disappears. However, this gives Dirt time to reflect, and puts them in a position to make a deal with the feds. At the final showdown, Dirt learns all Vanessa wants is to catch the bad guys. In solidarity, he too wants to go out in a blaze of glory. But soon realizes: This wasn’t a trip to Las Vegas, but a journey of self-discovery.
