Meanwhile two professional car thieves are doing their own deep thinking on whether or not to call it a day with car theft after one of their accomplices has been murdered. Meanwhile three drug dealers are getting ready for their latest deal and doing some philosophising of their own ...where are they going, what are they doing - Everything goes pear-shaped when the vehicle the car thieves steal belongs to the dealers - as the dealers give chase they accidently cut up a car containing the art thieves - in an ultimate road rage scenario the art thieves decide to kill the person who has just cut them up - This shattering pivotal coincidence leads to carnage, chaos, brutality and murder.
