When he falls for the beautiful Heather (Suzanne Lanza), she offers him an escape from the violence of the streets, but he is torn between his love for Heather and his loyalty to his old friends, and despite their chemistry, his ingrained violence and aggression threaten to extinguish their relationship before it even begins.
