SYNOPSIS

On the run from the Russian Mob, Richard Conrad is desperate for money. So he turns to his wealthy family; to his terminally ill father; to his alcoholic mother; and to his slow witted brother, who is engaged to a woman far too sexy to be in it for anything but the money. They're going to help Richard get what he needs to survive -- whether they like it or not.

Disturbing yet darkly comic, White Knuckles is a neo-noir thriller about greedy, desperate people doing greedy, desperate things.

STARRING
