Histoire :


La veille de Noël, Nick Bianco (dont le père avait été tué par la police) attaque une bijouterie avec deux complices. Mais le braquage échoue et Nick, blessé, est arrêté. Comme il refuse de « donner » ses complices, il est condamné à vingt ans de prison. En prison il apprend le suicide de sa femme et décide de parler afin de sortir de prison et aider ses deux filles. Le milieu soupçonne Rizzo d'être un mouchard et charge un criminel psychopathe (Tommy Udo) de l'assassiner. Udo, ne trouvant pas Rizzo, assassine la mère de ce dernier en poussant son fauteuil roulant dans l'escalier. Udo est dénoncé par Nick. Mais grâce à son avocat, Udo est remis en liberté. Après avoir mis ses proches à l'abri, Nick décide d'affronter Udo.
