In town or you become arrogant or scoundrels: with these words describe Alex in a few minutes after which, needless to say, certainly not according to Vienna became arrogant. Out of prison some time before the beginning of the story, now is a driver for the boss of a brothel and made the terrible mistake of falling in love, in return, the prostitute’s IP request. Together meditated flight for which he needs for a lot of money, because she seriously indebted. There ’s just a way for Alex to get that figure and in a hurry: a robbery well done.
