A lawyer's attempts to score quick Christmas cash by swindling the local mob grow complicated with the arrival of a treacherous ice storm.

ABSTRACT
Sleazy attorney Charlie Arglist and businessman-cum-pornographer Vic Cavanaugh steal $2,000,000 from local Wichita, Kansas mob boss Bill Guerrard, intending to make an easy getaway on their way to enjoying a hefty payday. When an ice storm forces the pair to stay in town longer than expected, however, they are forced to come up with a strategy to evade capture at the hands of Guerrard's henchmen, embarking on a high-stakes journey filled with strippers and shotguns as they seek to make it through Wichita's inclement weather in one piece.
