action

Jack Carter, a member of the Mafia , lives in Las Vegas . When his brother dies in a traffic accident, Carter takes the train to Seattle to attend the funeral, but also to find out the truth about his brother's death. In Seattle, he contacts Gloria, his dead brother's wife, who, however, accuses Carter of being complicit in his brother's death, since he did not take care of his brother in the end.

Carter quickly begins his investigation into the environment and is not squeamish about it. After a short time it is clear to Carter that his brother was murdered. His campaign of revenge runs parallel to his investigations, which lead him via an ominous CD-ROM into a blackmail and rape case, until the story ends with the murder of his brother.

During the whole time Carter tries to take care of the battered Gloria and her daughter Doreen, which he does not succeed well at first, but takes on conciliatory forms towards the end.

At the end of the film, Carter is alive and at liberty.
