Три шага на четыре – воспоминания о тюремной камере, в которой Равен отбывал 5-летнее заключение, питают жажду мести. Но просто расправиться с главой банды Мандеттой, некогда сдавшим его полиции, Равену недостаточно. Он намерен захватить и расширить весь бизнес Мандетты: бары, подпольные бордели, игорные дома. Подобная прыть не по вкусу ни соперничающим бандам, ни бывшим подручным Мандетты. В руки последних попадает Дани – соседка Мандетты, ставшая невольной свидетельницей его убийства. Наличие такой заложницы становится главным козырем в их игре, который можно обернуть и на пользу, и во вред Равену.
