Dmytryk and Cora Knight were a respectable couple with a solid, comfortable life on the affluent side of Detroit-until a crippling recession annihilates their careers, and they find themselves desperate to hold on.

Then a powerful crime boss gives them an opportunity to buy back their old lives. All Dmytryk has to do is rob a few banks- two minutes, in and out, nobody gets hurt. But no sooner does he begin his new life of crime than Cora disappears without a trace.
