Na pomoč, tako kot že velikokrat dotlej, pokliče dolgoletnega prijatelja Mikeyja (Peter Falk). Na Nickyjevo glavo je razpisana tiralica zaradi denarja, ki ga je ukradel mafijskemu šefu, in Mikey ga mora spet spraviti iz težav. Po tem, ko nekako premaga Nickyjevo preganjavico in strah, ga Mikey izbeza iz hotela, kamor se je skril, in mu pomaga skovati načrt za pobeg. Vendar Nicky nenehno spreminja ta načrt in tesno za petami jima je tudi najeti mafijski morilec. Medtem ko mu skušata pobegniti in je v bitki živcev na preizkušnji moč njunega prijateljstva, se bosta morala soočiti z izdajo, obžalovanjem in vrednostjo svojih življenj nasproti čutu po samoohranitvi.

Originalni opis filma:

Nick is desperate, holed up in a cheap hotel, suffering from an ulcer and convinced that a local mobster wants him killed. He calls Mikey, his friend since childhood, but when Mikey arrives, Nick won't let him in: his moods swing. So begins a long night as Mike tries to take care of Nick, calm him down and get him out of town. Their sojourn - on foot and in a city bus - takes them to a bar, a club, toward a movie theater, to the cemetery where Nick's mom is buried, and to Nick's girlfriend's apartment. Tempers fray and the friendship is tested. Meanwhile, a hit man who's getting information from someone is indeed looking for Nick.
