Two couples heading to a Chicago jazz club take a wrong turn into gangland territory and accidentally witness the assassination of the punk kingpin The Chains, whose blond spiked hair‑capped head hits the pavement. The gang launches a hunt for suspects. As they flee, a desperate youth bursts into the unlocked back seat shouting, “Get me outta here!” He is the avenging gunman seeking revenge for his baby brother’s murder, leaving the strangers haunted.
