11.67 pp · crime

When a trio of small-time crooks—Big Jim Satori, Dandy Phil Kant, and John Maxwell, the Barber—stumble onto what they think is easy money, they discover the criminal underworld is far more dangerous and interconnected than they bargained for. As their ambitions grow and law enforcement closes in, the men find themselves caught between the street gangs they've wronged and federal agents with a plan to dismantle the smuggling operation from the inside. In this 1949 crime tale, every shortcut and broken deal leads them closer to a reckoning they can't escape.

Lloyd Sampsell dreams of easy money as a college student living on a meager allowance, and that dream sets him on a path toward armed robbery and a life of crime that spans decades. From his first bank heist in 1925 through partnerships formed and broken behind bars, Sampsell repeatedly finds himself at odds with the law—each time convinced that his next scheme will finally pay off. This hardened criminal's relentless pursuit of the big score eventually catches up with him in ways he never anticipated.

A desperate criminal's night of violence at a Kentucky filling station sets off a chain of consequences that neither he nor his accomplices can escape. When Paul Wilson and his companions rob a traveling man in 1944, Wilson's brutal response to silence witnesses—and his companions' inability to live with their guilt—leads the law straight to him. Sentenced to life at the Kentucky State Reformatory, Wilson makes a break for freedom in 1945, and the manhunt that follows has stretched on for years, with the authorities determined to drag him back behind bars.
