Stick (1985)

Stepping out of the prison gates, Ernest 'Stick' Stickley is a man determined to turn over a new leaf. But the dark tendrils of his past, like the shadows in a dim alley, are not so easy to escape. His first steps towards freedom lead him straight back into the dangerous labyrinth of the underworld when an old friend entangles him in a high-risk drug-running operation. The deal goes south, his friend pays the ultimate price, and Stick narrowly escapes. Haunted by his friend's death and pursued by his enemies, Stick finds an unlikely ally in a wealthy investor who hires him for a job. Simultaneously, he seeks to mend the broken connection with his estranged daughter, his love for her a beacon in his storm-ridden life. Amidst the chaos, he kindles a new romance with a financial genius, offering a glimpse of a peaceful life he's never known. But just when Stick is ready to leave his past behind, he finds himself ensnared in a ruthless game of debt and betrayal. Chucky and Nestor, two menacing hoods, owe Stick more than just money; they owe him a dangerous promise of revenge. Now, Stick must navigate the treacherous waters of his past and present, as he fights to secure a future free of the chains that bind him. Every step takes him deeper into a world where trust is rare, and survival is the only victory.
