=== SYNOPSIS ===
April 1986, Baltimore: Kevin argues with his little brother, who he thinks has taken his knife. As Marty is getting ready to leave for work, Kevin drags Virginia, beaten and bound, out of the shed. Marty notices the shed is unlocked, but is relieved to see his box is still locked. Mike calls round, and they beat up on Virginia, unseen by Marty. Marty realises he's late, and as he leaves he is caught by a waiting Dez Finger. Finger gives Marty a package of cocaine, which he puts into his locked box. Marty goes back into the house, has a few beers, and quietly freaks out. When he hears a door bang, he hides under a blanket, not seeing that it's Virginia running from Mike & Kevin. He continues drinking, oblivious to the violence
April: A few days later, Finger comes to pick up the package. Marty goes into his shed to find his box open and empty, along with a cut section of rope. He locks himself inside his shed
