A shy and insecure delivery truck driver accidentally stumbles upon a major crime scene while on his route. In an attempt to evade suspicion, he takes two bags of cash from the scene and hides them in his truck. This action leads him into further trouble as he becomes the target of a gang leader eager to retrieve his money, and finds himself interrogated by two tough police detectives. Struggling with remorse due to his philosophical background, he seeks help from an unlikely pair: a prostitute and a former biker recently released from jail.
