Frank, a hobo, ends up in a garage-truck stop in the middle of nowhere. Nick Marino, its older, kind and naive owner, is married to Cora, a sexy and mercenary woman half his age. Frank, although not a fan of hard work, accepts Nick's offer to work for him.

It does not take long before Cora, who despises her husband, asks her lover to help her get rid of him. Frank is reluctant at first but. Written by Guy Bellinger |
