Dixon is on the run, shot and wounded after a botched bank-robbery but in possession of a big sackful of hundred dollar bills. His plan is to travel to Canada, buy a farm and live a quiet life. Meanwhile he needs somewhere to hole up. Finding himself in the quaint college town of Tiburn, New Hampshire, Dixon spies Professor Elias White cavorting with his teenaged neighbour and spots an opportunity. Dixon blackmails Elias into giving him sanctuary until the heat dies down. Jaded, frustrated FBI agent Denise Lupo is following the money trail and gets a lead from Tiburn; a chance to leave the office and show new boy Kohl the ropes. What Dixon has failed to realise is that Elias is a man with vaulting ambition in possession of a ruthless streak. Amusing, satirical and taut cult thriller from Levison who was born in Scotland, emigrated to the US and served in the British Army before working as a wage slave in a variety of jobs.
