A stylish neo-noir revenge thriller about a man's cold, methodical pursuit of a trivial debt through Los Angeles's criminal underworld, told with detached precision and visual sophistication.

After being double-crossed and left for dead, a mysterious man named Walker single-mindedly tries to retrieve the rather inconsequential sum of money that was stolen from him.
