Joey Gazelle is a low level mob flanker who gets told to dispose of a gun used for killing some dirty cops. Joey however, hides the gun in the drywall of his basement instead of tossing them in the river. When Joey's 10 year-old son and his best friend, Oleg, witness Joey hiding some guns from a botched drug deal, Oleg steals the gun -- a snub-nosed .38 -- and shoots his abusive stepfather with it. Things would be bad enough if the stepfather didn't happen to be the nephew of a psychotic Russian mob boss... who happens to be in business with Joey's crew on a gasoline scam. But now Joey's also got the surviving dirty cop from the botched drug deal on his case... and that hot .38 out there on the street, changing hands in an underworld of freaks, pimps, hookers and pedophiles. As well as Oleg, who can connect Joey to the gun. And even if Joey can make it through the night, he's still got to answer to his wife...

Thomas Jane declined the role of Joey Gazelle due to scheduling conflicts. Paul Walker was a second choice.

Pimp Lester:
[pointing gun at Oleg] Say hello to my little friend!


Joey Gazelle:
That's real fuckin' original. What are you, a fuckin' cartoon?


Pimp Lester:
I'm a Mack Daddy pimp! You know that. And now I'm gonna cap your ass, and when I'm finished with you, I'm gonna take your little punk friend and I'm gonna put him in my posse, and I'm gonna pimp him out for a couple of months and then I'm gonna take that knife of yours and I'm gonna cut him from ear to ear, *just like I should've done yesterday, you fuck!*


Joey Gazelle:
Yeah, I'm sure that sounds great to you all in your fuckin' pimp world and all, but, listen, right now, that's not the *fuckin'* thing you wanna do! You wanna put down that fuckin' gun, and you wanna walk away 'cause I swear to fuckin' God, I'll fuckin' kill you, you stupid fuckin' pimp bitch!


Pimp Lester:
Wrong! Only one of us is walking out of here. Guess who?


Joey Gazelle:
Oleg, get behind me... Oleg, get behind me!
