When Ari wakes with no recollection of how he ended up with a pipe through his windshield, blood on his clothes and an empty clip in his gun, Briggs must walk the unstable mobster through the events of the previous evening. Their search soon leads them to a gas station in the mountains, and a run in with Martuun Sarkissian and his right hand man, Toros Berbarian. It turns out that Martuun is on the hunt for Layla, who didn't come home the night before. Layla's recent car crash already has Martuun seeing red, and with little love lost between Toros and Ari, the situation quickly becomes tense.
Of course, Briggs has orchestrated the whole thing in a bid to finally be rid of Ari, and his plan is going swimmingly. But as the group heads to a remote mountain cabin in search of Martuun's missing daughter and Ari begins to get the feeling that he did something truly terrible, Briggs may find that he has a lot less control over the entire situation than he planned...
