Plot

Unshackled from the iron grip of prison, the infamous bank robber, Roy 'Mad Dog' Earle, finds himself entwined in a world of crime once again. Secured a pardon by an old associate, he is plotted into orchestrating a daring hotel heist alongside an unlikely duo, Red and Babe. Yet, their crew is not complete without the unexpected addition of Marie, a former dance-hall girl with a past as murky as theirs. As they traverse towards California, their lives intersect with a destitute family traveling with their radiant granddaughter, Velma. Amid the impending danger and looming shadows of their criminal endeavors, Roy finds himself ensnared by an unusual affection for Velma, while Marie's heart flutters unknowingly for him. But, as the adage goes, happiness comes at a premium in a world steeped in deceit. When their meticulously planned robbery derails, leaving a man lifeless and their futures in jeopardy, Roy and Marie are catapulted into a pulsating chase. With the relentless press and an army of law enforcement snapping at their heels, their sanctuary unravels in the serrated peaks of the Sierra Nevadas. As the mountain winds whip around him, a heavily cornered Roy finds himself preparing for a final, desperate standoff. The echoes of the attachments he formed during the fleeting moments of planning their heist reverberate in his heart. Yet, will these bonds be his redemption or his downfall? Will the law's tightening noose make him rue the day he strayed from the path of righteousness? Only the frosty peaks of High Sierra know the answers.
