Danny Wright is an American businessman whose life has been going through a sour patch after he and his wife. Danny strikes up a conversation in a hotel bar with fellow out-of-towner Julian Noble, and while Julian’;;;s loud and brassy manner initially puts Danny off, in time the two become friends, and Julian feels comfortable enough with Danny to tell him what he does for a living. Julian has also done something to put Danny in his debt, and the previously non-criminal businessman is forced to help his friend stage a hit, with Julian’;;;s presence in his home upsetting the precarious balance of Danny and Carolyn’;;;s marriage.
