One day, Ed decides to blackmail his wife's boss, Big Dave, in order to get the money to invest in a new business venture. However, things take a dark turn when Big Dave ends up dead and Ed becomes the prime suspect in the murder.

As Ed tries to clear his name and unravel the mystery behind the murder, he finds himself caught in a web of deceit and betrayal. The film explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the consequences of one's actions.
