SYNOPSIS:

KING and VICTOR grew up back in the 1980's as two kids in a bad neighborhood down the SEA CITY doing small outlaws for the local head of the mob, DENNIS, Victor’s dad and getting wasted on his pot. When Dennis made Boss of the organisation for a while and brought his pander business to the BIG CITY, he didn't lasted long, as he was “cleaned” by the competition. Once with the moving up into the world the kid’s paths took different directions: Victor followed his dad to the Big City and King fled to the States where he pursued a professional career as a hitman.

After a life of over 20 years in the States, once he was about to settle, King got unlucky, when he landed a twisted job as once sent by one member to kill another he got caught and he ended up being exiled back to the SEA CITY. Victor, on the other side, seemed to have had it easier, as even though his father was killed, he remained part of the family, once Uncle Tony, another important member of the mob, married his widowed mother. Dennis’ reign, although short, brought him wealth, but the man was not stupid and left a strong will, stating that Victor will inherit all the fortune only once he gets married. The organisation is now lead by a cruel and wicked criminal named BIG BEN, who just got much serious about his position now with his father, Uncle Pinky, the former Boss, passing away. Although the will have been kept secret from Victor, time has come, as he is now in love and plans to wed one of the Big Ben’s strippers named DESTINY.

Aware of the will, Uncle Tony and Big Ben set a series of jobs meant to get Victor killed so he can get his hands on the proprieties. As an act of destiny, now, after 34 years, Victor and King meet again and as the two friends reunite they are a perfect killing machine and also two adults whose life perspective have changed due to their experiences and both dream now at quitting and turning legit after this last job. Although both try to keep a straight face in front of another, King and Victor are just two over aged kids when it comes to their relationship which seems to have started now exactly where it was left 34 years ago. They begin to fail every job they are given by BIG BEN, killing the wrong people, the mobs who are sent to whack them out, being constantly under the influence of drugs, the thing that ties them most. Surprisingly, with each failure, they are actually escaping, each time, the mob’s wicked plans to get them killed and solve Uncle Tony’s problem.

As they finally figure out the trap they landed in and once they get their hands on some of Big Ben's fortune, they decide to flee along with DESTINY but end up at its mercy.
