Silent Partner

Down on their luck friends and gambling addicts John and Billy get a chance to train a racing greyhound for a mysterious 'silent partner'. Their hopes for fortune are dashed by a loss, leading them to dope the dog for a high stakes city race. Although the dog wins, it dies from the drugs shortly after. Now in debt for the dead animal and threatened by their backer, their lifelong friendship begins to violently fracture under the immense pressure.
