The Drop

Two days after Christmas, Bob Saginowski, a lonely bartender looking for a reason to live, rescues an abused and abandoned pit bull puppy from a trash can and meets a damaged woman named Nadia Dunn looking for something to believe in.

As their relationship grows, they cross paths with the Chechen Mafia, who have taken over his cousin Marv's bar and use it as a money drop; Marv himself, ho has grown dangerously desperate with age and thwarted hopes; two hapless stickup artists who make the mistake of robbing the bar; a very curious cop; and the original owner of the puppy a psychotic named Eric Deeds, who wants his dog back . . .
