After his release from prison, he starts small as a cab driver, then spots an angle: running bootleg liquor across the border in his taxi, building it into an operation ambitious enough to rival established gangsters. When a rival cab company owner turns up dead, Darrow finds himself locked in a dangerous game with both the underworld and a determined detective from headquarters.
