The greedy, lazy landlord hires an exterminator, who is addicted to crack-cocaine, to rid the buildings of rats. He reports that the buildings is free of rodent infestations and the landlord pretends everything is okay.

Max especially does not mind the rats and actually makes friends with them. One day while trying to return home, Courtney has an accident. Max is incredibly angry over the accident and vows revenge on the landlord and anyone else who gets in his way. Will Max get his revenge?moreless
