SPOTLESS

Martin Palado, a self-made millionaire, lives a life of luxury and ease. Since his retirement, Martin's mind has led him to dark obsessions. Posing as a bum, he panhandles on the streets of downtown Denver. When Martin proves to be a failure at begging, he calls for a hitman to remove his competition. Soon, the alleys of Denver are littered with the bodies of those unfortunates who chanced to threaten the "livelihood" of the eccentric millionaire bum. Across town from the affluence of Martin's world, the lives of Johnny Stockman and his coke-dealing buddies Mike Booker and Larry Zuck have achieved a similar downward trend. Days spent at dead end jobs fade into nights in which their minds are blurred by too much beer and cocaine; the only high point, their weekly Tuesday night craps game. But even the craps game is threatened when Mike's obsession with a pair of loaded dice leads him to try to cheat his friends. Into all these lives, comes Jackson Hash, a longtime "remover of obstacles" for Martin Palado, and his fetish for cleanliness. When one hit takes an especially violent turn, he reassesses and decides to leave his life of crime. Jack opens a new business where he befriends Johnny and is invited to join the Tuesday night craps game. When Mike's loaded dice finally manage to find their way onto the table, Jack discovers that his life hasn't really come clean; and all their lives are changed forever.
