Blaze is a big man, with a dent in his forehead from where his dad chucked him down the stairs and and inability to make a move without George, his wily accomplice in crime. George might be mean sometimes, but he tells Blaze how to do everything - from the right way to steal a car, to the one big job that will set them up for life. But Blaze is hesitant about the one big job - kidnapping a baby for ransom. He finds himself in his cold cabin, with the wind whistling, hearing George's taunts about his inability to act. So he decides to act, on George's instruction. Once he has the baby, he finds himself in over his head - one step ahead of the police only because of George's smarts. But is George's advice really any good? And can Blaze redeem himself through his attachment to the child?
