One night, on his way home from being laid off, Vietnam vet Marin is jumped on the viaduct. In the bloody fight that follows, Marin is stabbed, and one of the two thugs is sent over the side rail and down 10 stories to his death. Marin survives, but soon he's got a bigger problem. His baby girl is kidnapped from the hospital, and his wife suffers a nervous breakdown. It's up to Marin and his old war buddy to do exactly what 'the man' ain't doin' and get his baby back.
