Bobby Ellis is best known to his friends as "Chug" because he can chug a beer faster than anyone alive. However, when Chug, a likable and decent enough person in many respects, becomes involved in a daytime heist of a restaurant where he accidentally shoots and seriously wounds Florence Scarlata, the mother of Boston's crime boss, he steps into a world he never could have imagined and his life becomes an out of control spiral. Trying to elude both the police and the Mob, Chug gets caught up in a game of deadly pursuit. When Florence Scarlata dies, the rage of her son, William Scarlata, a.k.a. Will Scarlet, knows no bounds and he plans a retribution that defies imagination, one that plays into everyone's worst fear.
