Jimmy Tasker is an ordinary child. He loves to take pictures: has an eye for it. When some common bullies take things too far, Jimmy ends up burned... and different. It starts when his father is killed in a mysterious house fire. Him and his mother move away... change names... disappear. Some years later a group of friends are finding it tough. They are unemployed, short of cash, and one of them comes up with a great idea. A robbery. But they are a rag-tag bunch, and Steve declines, leaving the other three, a misogynist, an addict, and poor, easily led Peter, to pull off the 'robbery of the century'. But Jimmy is still in there, somewhere... ... and he's killing for fun.
