After a homeless man witnesses a double homicide, he begins a run for his life with two valises that hold the secret to the murder.

Through no fault of his own, the former white-collar executive and family man is penniless, desperate, and clinging to the hope that one day he will find his way back home.
After Cleo inadvertently witnesses a murder in a dark alley, he crawls from hiding and grabs two valises left next to the bodies of the dead men. Now on the run for his life, Cleo hops on a boxcar to escape, not realizing that someone witnessed him running from the murder scene. Now, the police have added Cleo to their list of suspects. Meanwhile, Cleo finds a job, a place to stay, and a new lifeall while keeping the valises a secret from everyone. Caught between two worlds and sought by both police and gangsters, Cleo is about to discover that he unwittingly holds the key to solving a double murder.
In this chilling thriller, a homeless man must rely on the kindness of strangers and his gut instincts to outsmart those determined to stand in the way of his return to a peaceful existence.
