John Parker is a former soldier who ended up in the war because of unrequited love. Returning home, he tries to get settled in life, practicing a craft that he learned in the hospital, where he was hospitalized after being wounded. Things are gradually getting better, but John has problems with bandits - by coincidence, he owes them a considerable amount. To write off the debt, he is offered to find the boss’s girlfriend, who has disappeared and even the best detective agencies do not undertake to look for her. John is wondering what to do, but a series of unexpected attempts on his life forces him to urgently accept the offer in order to leave the city as quickly as possible.
