When Johnny Dynamite takes on the case of Kitty Craig—a woman fleeing a powerful vice syndicate after she tried to blackmail her way out—he discovers just how deep and ruthless the organization really is. Trapped by the syndicate's muscle and forced to witness unspeakable violence, Johnny finds himself caught between his conscience and a burning need for revenge. With four lives hanging in the balance and the syndicate's grip tightening, the one-eyed private eye must navigate a deadly underworld to settle his personal score.

Steve Winters and his co-driver Pop Taylor accept a dangerous high-stakes cargo race—hauling volatile nitroglycerine to an Army plant—after their friend and senior driver Larry Bayliss is killed in a suspicious truck accident. As Steve pushes to win the contract and honor Larry's memory, he and Pop discover their rival company has sabotaged their brakes, leaving them careening down a treacherous hill with an unstable cargo and no way to stop. Packed with white-knuckle tension and gritty 1950s crime intrigue, "Nitro-Glycerine" is a pulse-pounding tale of industrial sabotage and nerve tested to the limit.
