Jason Blake, a bank clerk, is shot and wakes up one hour before his death. He discovers the Red Eagle Gang set him up as a scapegoat for money laundering.
On the run, he meets Vera — passion flares, but she tries to kill him. He barely survives.
Then Natalie, the cold leader of the Black Crow Syndicate, takes interest. She uses him; he uses her. Tension, danger, and a deadly kiss.
Jason finally learns the Red Eagle boss is his own bank manager Robert. At a charity gala, Jason exposes him, sparking a gunfight. Robert is arrested.
Jason takes over the city's underworld. Watching from afar, Natalie whispers: ""I chose you.""
