Synopsis

Aristophanes said in the beginning we started as whole people and we were very powerful, so powerful we attacked the heavens. The Gods got angry and as punishment cut us in half, he said we spend our entire lives trying to find that other half. A day came when JOHNNY thought he found his missing half but lost it when he went to jail or because of what he did to get into jail. In jail Johnny meditates day and night to get that missing half back. The day he is released from prison he is hunted by two men that do not have the virtue of remorse. But as Satan sends his demons God sends a lone Archangel. Celebrating his release; Johnny and his closest friends (one who happens to be his ex-girlfriend and the other the man she is now in love with) enjoy a night out when ROOKER an old mafia connection tracks Johnny down and sends him out for one last package transport. Unfortunately for Rooker two rival family blood hounds have already been tipped off that he?s carrying some valuable merchandise. But before Rooker meets his maker at the hands of the two Angels of Death he passes the package to Johnny. With the package now in Johnny?s possession he has indirectly put the only two people he cares about into the crosshairs of the guns that belong to the two most notorious Arch-Criminals in the mafia underworld.
