Once at home, his live-in Irish girlfriend Peggy Naughton helps communicate with the teenager. Soon a private investigator shows up in Key West looking for the teen and believes Murphy knows her whereabouts. Things get worse as Murphy tries to unite the girl with her family. In his way is his Russia Mafia nemeses Alexei, who wants the girl at any cost. Murphy wants to kill Alexei, up close and personal for his involvement in the death of Tita. Things only get worse when Albanian mobsters show up and want the girl too. There's a Judas among Murphy's eclectic friends and before it's over, his life will have spiraled into the abyss.
