One day Ulee gets a call from Jimmy; he’s received word that Helen has fallen in with a pair of drug dealers and is in sad shape. Ulee heads out to rescue her only to discover the men who have her were Jimmy’s partners in the robbery that put him behind bars. They threaten Ulee by saying if they’re not given the $100,000 Jimmy has stashed away, they’ll come after his daughters. Meanwhile, Ulee is forced to deal with Helen’s painful withdrawal from drugs.
