A former college basketball star with a prison record and a deep and abiding love of money, Earl Beale was the kind of used car salesman you'd never buy a used car from. But blackmail was the main object of Earl's energies and millions of dollars his goal - until a marker from his past suddenly catches up with him. Coerced into the fringes of a corrupt scheme masterminded by a powerbroker in the nation's capital, Earl's dreams of wealth suddenly turn into a nightmare as he plunges into an underworld of cops, swindlers, and politicians - where the downpayment on a bad debt is death.
