Knockaround Guys

In the early days of his youth, Matty Demaret finds himself grappling with a profound moral dilemma. His hesitation to make decisive choices leads Teddy, an associate of his father, Benny Chains, to label him as unfit for the ruthless criminal world they inhabit.

Years later, Matty is stuck in a cycle of dead-end jobs, overshadowed by his father's infamous reputation. This stigma prevents him from securing legitimate work, leaving him frustrated and longing for a meaningful role within the family’s empire.

Seizing an unexpected opportunity, Matty is eager to prove his worth when Teddy allows him to carry out a retrieval mission. This mission takes Matty to Spokane, marking a pivotal moment for him in the eyes of his family.

Matty recruits Johnny Marbles for his mission, instructing him to fly to Spokane and retrieve a crucial package without any detours. The plan appears straightforward, yet unforeseen complications loom on the horizon.

Upon arriving in Wibaux, Montana, Matty is caught off guard by the local law enforcement presence. In a moment of panic, he abandons the package among the luggage of a departing flight, a decision that will haunt him.

When Johnny returns without the package, he claims it has mysteriously gone missing. This unexpected twist compels Matty to seek out his loyal friends Chris and Taylor in hopes of recovering what was lost.

Their search leads them to a local bar where tensions rise. Taylor fully embraces his brutal side, confronting a man who poses a challenge, showing that the mission is becoming increasingly dangerous and chaotic.

Desperate for answers, Matty and Taylor identify two teenage baggage handlers flaunting newfound wealth. This clues them in on the whereabouts of the lost package, prompting a visit to the boys' home.

Their investigation is abruptly interrupted by the sheriff, who is also the father of one of the boys. He confiscates the money that Matty and his friends just recovered, complicating their already precarious situation.

In a tense stand-off, Matty attempts to negotiate with the sheriff, but the talks go nowhere. Realizing they are at an impasse, Matty turns to Teddy for assistance, unaware of the looming federal scrutiny on their operations.

Chris grows increasingly anxious about their dangerous path and urges Johnny to leave the mission. His concerns go unheard as he ultimately decides to slip away, leaving Johnny to face the consequences alone.

Just as tensions peak, Teddy's enforcers come looking for Johnny. As he tries to protect Chris by feigning ignorance, Johnny is tragically shot down, leaving the group shaken and on high alert.

In the chaos following Johnny's death, Matty and Taylor must confront not only the wrath of Teddy's men but the sheriff’s forces too. Violence escalates when an informant reveals secrets that ignite an all-out conflict.

After the ensuing violence, it becomes evident that Teddy has been manipulating the events all along. Matty confronts him, and a fierce battle for control ensues, revealing Teddy's ulterior motives.

In a moment of clarity, Matty and Taylor return the stolen money to Benny, earning unexpected offers from their criminal world. However, Matty chooses to walk away, prioritizing his moral compass over a life steeped in crime.
