Synopsis

Action thriller. Alvin Sanders is a young petty criminal who indulges in one robbery too many along with his brother, and finds himself sharing a prison cell with John Jaster, one of the masterminds behind the heist of $42 million in gold from a Federal Reserve. Jaster gives Alvin a cryptic message for his wife - whom his ex-partner, Bristol, has already killed. Although Alvin is not sure what the message means, Treasury Investigator Clenteen has a plan to have Alvin knocked unconscious and implanted with apparatus which will enable the authorities to trace and hear his every move. However, it proves difficult to keep Alvin alive long enough to act as bait to draw Bristol towards him - and the police.
