After his own car is hauled away by the repo men, the recently divorced Michael Nolan (Darren McGavin) ends up taking a job repossessing vehicles himself. Teaming up with a 16-year-old girl (Denise Nickerson), he plunges into the gritty, unpredictable business. Cameos and guest appearances by veterans such as Joan Collins, Dick Martin, Sylvia Miles, and Bill Hudson and Brett Hudson add spice to the tire-squealing action.
