But tonight is no ordinary night.When a nervous stranger sits down beside him one night and Tim's sense of mischief lets a misconception over his identity go on for a little too long and that mischief looks set to get him into trouble. As the stranger hands Tim a cash-stuffed envelope with the words: You'll get the rest when she's gone, Tim realises he's been mistaken for a cold-blooded killer. And when the killer walks into the bar a split second later, Tim understands the encounter will not only cost him his peace of mind, it may also cost him his life...
