The city of Ergastulum is a corrupt and bleak environment, harboring criminals, prostitutes, and corrupt police officers. Even the most hardened residents steer clear of certain tasks that are too sordid. There are, however, two individuals called the "Handymen" - Nic and Worick - who specialize in handling the undesirable duties. That is until a friend on the police force seeks their services to eliminate a new rival gang encroaching on a powerful Mafia family's turf. It appears to be a typical assignment for the duo, but they will soon discover that it is far more complicated than they anticipated.
