Read the complete plot breakdown of 68 Kill (2017), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

As Chip, a timid sewer worker, finds himself ensnared in a toxic relationship with his domineering girlfriend Liza (Alisha Boe), he endures relentless emotional and physical abuse. Although convinced of his love for her, Chip is continuously battered by Liza’s simmering discontent stemming from her life as a prostitute. The situation intensifies when Ken Mckenzie, Liza’s consistent client and landlord, reveals the existence of a safe containing a hefty $68,000. Liza devises a plan to steal the money, enlisting Chip to assist her in an audacious heist wherein they disguise themselves as armed burglars. However, as they invade the McKenzie residence, Chip’s anxiety heightens dramatically when he witnesses Liza ruthlessly eliminating the unsuspecting couple who accidentally intrude upon their criminal endeavor.

In the chaotic aftermath, they flee with the stolen cash, only to be confronted by a young woman named Violet who stumbles upon the gruesome scene. Liza, driven by her sinister motives, incapacitates Violet, intending to deliver her to her brother Dwayne, who will subject her to unimaginable horrors. Disgusted at Liza’s despicable actions, Chip resolves to act; he renders Liza unconscious and unintentionally discharges a firearm at a bystander. When Dwayne appears, wielding a machete, Chip bravely incapacitates him, sustaining a wound to his shoulder, and manages to escape with the money.

Liza regains consciousness and pursues Chip, extracting a promise of loyalty in exchange for her forgiveness. Nevertheless, she soon collapses again, left behind on the roadside. As Chip drives away, he is abruptly reminded of Violet, who is now a hostage in his trunk. Despite his intentions to rescue her, he is quickly subdued at gunpoint by Violet, who forces him into an unexpected alliance: escaping with both the stolen money and their lives. Their journey unfolds as they bond, with Violet’s sharp wit helping them navigate dangerous encounters, including an insightful interaction during a police stop that hinges on humor and music.

Tension escalates as the two find themselves at a dilapidated gas station where Monica, the clerk, senses Chip’s illicit fortune. Slyly, she manipulates Chip into relinquishing more of his stolen cash under the threat of exposing him. However, Violet intervenes, rejecting Monica’s schemes. Seeking refuge from their turbulent lives, Chip and Violet retreat to a run-down hotel where Violet reveals her distressing past, having been coerced into prostitution by Mckenzie. As the evening progresses, they find solace in each other’s arms, forgetting their perilous predicaments, albeit momentarily.

The dawn brings a harsh reality; Chip wakes to discover his money, gun, and clothes missing. Doubt creeps in as he suspects Violet’s betrayal upon finding her lifeless body in the tub, a victim of fate’s cruel hand. In a frenzied attempt to call Liza, he learns from a hotel employee that a mysterious person visited their room the prior night, propelling him back to the gas station for answers. Chip connects the dots back to Monica, leading him to immobilize her before stealing her car and clothes, now determined to uncover the truth.

Inside Monica’s lair, the deception unfolds heartbreakingly as he realizes he’s been set up by her accomplice, only to be held at gunpoint. Despite Chip’s resilience, he suffers a brutal onslaught at the hands of Monica and her gang, who take pleasure in his suffering. Just as he teeters on the brink of oblivion, a vision of Violet urges him to regain control of his destiny.

Reinvigorated, Chip confronts Liza once more, their eyes locking in a tense encounter. With the atmosphere thick with despair, Dwayne crashes in, ruthlessly dispatching Monica’s gang. In a moment of chaotic reprieve, Dwayne issues an ultimatum: Chip must comply with their demands or face dire consequences. Enough is enough for Chip; he retaliates against Liza, ending her tyranny with a single shot. Fueled by vengeance, he confronts Dwayne, exacting his revenge with ruthless resolve.

With Monica on the verge of death, she thanks Chip for liberating her from Dwayne’s grasp, effectively entrapping herself in Chip’s vengeance plot. As the chaos dies down, Chip meticulously crafts a plan to cover his tracks before making a graceful exit, the suitcase filled with stolen riches by his side. Leaving behind a stunning yet troubled woman abandoned on the roadside, Chip speeds away, embracing his newfound freedom and wealth, ready to turn the page on his tumultuous past.
