For Hire

Mitch Lawrence (Rob Lowe), a Chicago cabby and would be actor, is a man whose dreams are starting to fade. He's got a loving and pregnant wife and a decent clientele, including the successful writer Lou Webber (Joe Mantegna), but overall his life is one of quiet frustration, even desperation. When he is diagnosed with inoperable cancer, he agrees to kill a drug dealer who has been threatening Webber in order to set up a nest egg for his wife and the baby. But Mitch soon realizes he is caught up in a deadly game of manipulation and betrayal, proving that at the right price any man is for hire. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)
