Tommy gets his insurance check for a fire that destroyed his home. However, he is unhappy with the amount that his insurance company has given him. As a result, Tommy alters the numbers on the check so that the amount increases by $100,000. After he is arrested for cashing this altered check, Tommy needs money to pay his lawyer. Tommy acquires this money by making an unauthorized withdrawal from a bank account belonging to the company where he works. When even that isn’t enough, he locates his neighbor Sally, who is out on bail for her own legal problems. Tommy threatens to burn down Sally’s house if she doesn’t give him $100,000 in cash. NARREND
