Micky DeWitt washes up in Sydney with nothing more than a run down yacht and his wits. He'd no CV, and no skills other than those earned by any dedicated career criminal.His twisted inertia draws him to the only place where he can survive; Kings Cross, Sydney's red-light district, where he takes a job as barman. He's approached one night by the sultry and seductive Carol. She needs something stolen from a lawyer's safe, and sweet-talks Micky into helping her. Nothing is what it seems as Micky falls into a honey trap that spins his life out of control, backs him into a corner, and no matter which way he jumps, someone's going to get killed. His decision leads him into a hedonistic free-fall, and then pushes him to the edge of insanity, before finally finding a warped redemption. Some characters from Heather make an appearance, including Mitchell, the enigmatic Ray Peterson, and even Heather herself.
